A Concrete Introduction to Analysis, Second Edition offers a major reorganization of the previous edition with the goal of making it a much more comprehensive and accessible for students.

The standard, austere approach to teaching modern mathematics with its emphasis on formal proofs can be challenging and discouraging for many students. To remedy this situation, the new edition is more rewarding and inviting. Students benefit from the text by gaining a solid foundational knowledge of analysis, which they can use in their fields of study and chosen professions.

The new edition capitalizes on the trend to combine topics from a traditional transition to proofs course with a first course on analysis. Like the first edition, the text is appropriate for a one- or two-semester introductory analysis or real analysis course. The choice of topics and level of coverage is suitable for mathematics majors, future teachers, and students studying engineering or other fields requiring a solid, working knowledge of undergraduate mathematics.

Key highlights:

Offers integration of transition topics to assist with the necessary background for analysis

Can be used for either a one- or a two-semester course

Explores how ideas of analysis appear in a broader context

Provides as major reorganization of the first edition

Includes solutions at the end of the book

Reviews for A Concrete Introduction to Real Analysis

"This is the second, revised edition of a textbook for a course that would typically follow an introductory calculus course in the standard American curriculum. The intended student readers would be those planning to continue with more advanced mathematics, or those in areas that require an understanding of mathematics from a conceptual perspective. While there are many texts with this focus, and libraries may already have several, this one is a bit different. It approaches the subject in an easy-to-read and intuitive manner, rather than in the more rigidly traditional ""definition, theorem, proof"" approach. It doesn’t cover as much material as some other texts, since it approaches the topics through a historical, contextual lens. Even so, a library may wish to consider this book, even if it has an existing real analysis collection. It will appeal to the student who is struggling with the structured formalism of more traditional texts. Enhancing its utility for self-study, the book includes complete solutions to half of the exercises. It contains a short bibliography, mostly of classic mathematical analysis books. --D. Z.
