This textbook explores the foundations of real analysis using the
framework of general ordered fields, demonstrating the multifaceted
nature of the area. Focusing on the logical structure of real
analysis, the definitions and interrelations between core concepts are
illustrated with the use of numerous examples and counterexamples.
Readers will learn of the equivalence between various theorems and the
completeness property of the underlying ordered field. These
equivalences emphasize the fundamental role of real numbers in
analysis. Comprising six chapters, the book opens with a rigorous
presentation of the theories of rational and real numbers in the
framework of ordered fields. This is followed by an accessible
exploration of standard topics of elementary real analysis, including
continuous functions, differentiation, integration, and infinite
series. Readers will find this text conveniently self-contained, with
three appendices included after the main text, covering an overview of
natural numbers and integers, Dedekind's construction of real numbers,
historical notes, and selected topics in algebra. Real Analysis:
Foundations is ideal for students at the upper-undergraduate or
beginning graduate level who are interested in the logical
underpinnings of real analysis. With over 130 exercises, it is
suitable for a one-semester course on elementary real analysis, as
well as independent study.
