-
Provides a rigorous approach to proofs, fundamental theorems, and the foundations of calculus
-
Highlights the connections and interplay between calculus and linear algebra, emphasizing the concepts of a vector space, a linear transformation (including a linear functional), a norm, and a scalar product
-
Offers a 'Test Yourself' section at the end of every chapter, which is a sample hour test with solutions to aid the study of readers
- Gradually guides the reader from the study of topology of the real line to the beginning theorems and concepts of graduate analysis, expressed from a modern viewpoint
-
Features the system of real numbers as a Cauchy-complete Archimedean ordered field, and the traditional theorems of advanced calculus are presented.
-
Employs a multi-part outline approach and provides broad hints to guide students through the more substantial proof exercises. Solutions to most of the non-proof exercises are also provided.
