This textbook is designed for a year-long course in real analysis
taken by beginning graduate and advanced undergraduate students in
mathematics and other areas such as statistics, engineering, and
economics. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, it
elegantly explores the core concepts in real analysis and introduces
new, accessible methods for both students and instructors. The first
half of the book develops both Lebesgue measure and, with essentially
no additional work for the student, general Borel measures for the
real line. Notation indicates when a result holds only for Lebesgue
measure. Differentiation and absolute continuity are presented using a
local maximal function, resulting in an exposition that is both
simpler and more general than the traditional approach. The second
half deals with general measures and functional analysis, including
Hilbert spaces, Fourier series, and the Riesz representation theorem
for positive linear functionals on continuous functions with compact
support. To correctly discuss weak limits of measures, one needs the
notion of a topological space rather than just a metric space, so
general topology is introduced in terms of a base of neighborhoods at
a point. The development of results then proceeds in parallel with
results for metric spaces, where the base is generated by balls
centered at a point. The text concludes with appendices on covering
theorems for higher dimensions and a short introduction to nonstandard
analysis including important applications to probability theory and
mathematical economics.
