Product Description

This new edition aims to guide undergraduate students through the first year of their mathematics course. It provides a rigorous introduction to Analysis, which takes into account the difficulties students often face when making the transition from A-level mathematics to this higher level. Plenty of examples are provided, some of which have full, detailed solutions, and others which encourage the student to discover and investigate the ideas themselves. Hints are provided, but the book aims to build confidence and understanding in all topics.
This second edition has two new substantial chapters, covering integration and powere series, and is updated throughout, taking into account changes in notation.

Customer Reviews

Excellent theoretical text
An excellent book for learning about Analysis - although more about the general theory rather than how to actually perform the methods. A traditional analysis text, as opposed to something such as Burn's Numbers and Functions which consists largely of exercises. Sometimes, the solutions in this book can be a little scant, but for looking up proofs and theorems it is very useful. Recommended by everybody on my degree course, and very useful to me.

A godsend
In the first year of my maths degree I was lost... until I found this book. It's unbelievable!! It makes sense, it has nice little historic interest bits and most importantly it'll answer all the exam questions. You won't need another analysis book. I actually love it... yes, I do realise it's just a textbook but trust me, you'll love it too.

Most useful analysis book ever
This book was the best value for money out of all the books I have ever bought. It covers everything you will need to know to start off your analysis coverage. Proofs are both concise but fully acceptable under examinable conditions. Definately worth buying. I used this in my first year of my Mathematics degree course.
