Volume 2: Metric and Topological Spaces, Functions of a Vector Variable

January 2014
2. Metric and Topological Spaces, Functions of a Vector Variable
Paperback
9781107675322

    The three volumes of A Course in Mathematical Analysis provide a full and detailed account of all those elements of real and complex analysis that an undergraduate mathematics student can expect to encounter in their first two or three years of study. Containing hundreds of exercises, examples and applications, these books will become an invaluable resource for both students and teachers. Volume 1 focuses on the analysis of real-valued functions of a real variable. This second volume goes on to consider metric and topological spaces. Topics such as completeness, compactness and connectedness are developed, with emphasis on their applications to analysis. This leads to the theory of functions of several variables. Differential manifolds in Euclidean space are introduced in a final chapter, which includes an account of Lagrange multipliers and a detailed proof of the divergence theorem. Volume 3 covers complex analysis and the theory of measure and integration.

    • Developed from the author's own undergraduate courses taught at the University of Cambridge
    • Over 250 exercises challenge the reader to learn through practice
    • Useful background reading for a wide range of courses in mathematics
