DESCRIPTION:
"Swell Book" according to Joshua M. Clark. This is a swell introduction to analysis. Plenty of good examples, with a well-ordered approach to the material. I particularly appreciated the section on the mindsets and assumptions that affect how we do mathematics. It's really helpful in seeing that mathematics is creative and intuitive, and not as bluntly algorithmic as so many high school classes seem. A quality read.
Proof techniques are covered in detail so that students gain the background they need for courses in abstract algebra and real analysis.. Mathematics majors learn the underlying concepts and how to apply them to problem solving and proofs in this introduction to the fundamentals in mathematical reasoning and the basic properties of the real numbers and set theory
