Product Description
The classic analysis textbook from Burkill and Burkill, now available in the Cambridge Mathematical Library. This straightforward course, based on the idea of a limit, is intended for students of mathematics and physics who have acquired a working knowledge of the calculus and are ready for a more systematic treatment. The treatment given here also brings in other limiting processes, such as the summation of infinite series and the expansion of trigonometric functions as power series. Particular attention is given to clarity of exposition and the logical development of the subject matter. This, combined with the large number of examples included, ensure that this book will appeal to students of analysis.

Review
‘Books of this quality are rare enough to be hailed enthusiastically… it is so fresh in conception and so lucid in style that it will appeal to anyone who has a genuine interest in mathematics.’ The Times Literary Supplement
‘It is a pleasure to be able to welcome a book on analysis written by an author who has a sense of style.’ Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
‘This is an excellent book … If I were teaching a course for honours students of the type described, this book would rank high as a possible choice of text.’ Canadian Mathematical Bulletin
Customer Reviews
Very well written
Firstly, please forgive me for my bad English.
Secondly, about this book, I should say that I didn't know a lot about Analysis before reading it, and that I was very reluctant to take the course "Real Analysis II" at my university. But, reading this book was indeed a pleasant surprise: the text is very clear and the proofs are very convincing and nicely done. It really made me change the way I perceived Analysis and as a result I want to learn more...
Don't be afraid by the introduction, I don't think that any knowledge is required to understand this book. In my opinion, this is exactly what a First course in Analysis should be like!
