Based on an honors course taught by the author at UC Berkeley, this
introduction to undergraduate real analysis gives a different emphasis
by stressing the importance of pictures and hard problems. Topics
include: a natural construction of the real numbers, four-dimensional
visualization, basic point-set topology, function spaces,
multivariable calculus via differential forms (leading to a simple
proof of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem), and a pictorial treatment
of Lebesgue theory. Over 150 detailed illustrations elucidate abstract
concepts and salient points in proofs. The exposition is informal and
relaxed, with many helpful asides, examples, some jokes, and
occasional comments from mathematicians, such as Littlewood,
Dieudonné, and Osserman. This book thus succeeds in being more
comprehensive, more comprehensible, and more enjoyable, than standard
introductions to analysis. New to the second edition of Real
Mathematical Analysis is a presentation of Lebesgue integration done
almost entirely using the undergraph approach of Burkill. Payoffs
include: concise picture proofs of the Monotone and Dominated
Convergence Theorems, a one-line/one-picture proof of Fubini's theorem
from Cavalieri’s Principle, and, in many cases, the ability to see
an integral result from measure theory. The presentation includes
Vitali’s Covering Lemma, density points — which are rarely treated
in books at this level — and the almost everywhere differentiability
of monotone functions. Several new exercises now join a collection of
over 500 exercises that pose interesting challenges and introduce
special topics to the student keen on mastering this beautiful
subject.
