    This book is a collection of materials gathered by the author while teaching real analysis over a period of years. It is intended for use as a supplement to a traditional analysis textbook, or to provide material for seminars or independent study in analysis and its historical development. The book includes historical and biographical information, a wide range of problem types, selected readings on a variety of topics, and many references for additional study. Since all these materials are collected into a single book, teachers and students can easily choose items most suitable for their purpose. Teachers may use the book as a supplement to their courses, while students may read much of the book on their own. No other book has been written specifically as a supplement for a real analysis course.

    • Includes problems with extensive exercises, biographies, and essays on the history and the concepts of analysis
    • Features an annotated bibliography to guide further study
    • Can be used by teachers for teaching or students for self-study

    Reviews & endorsements

    'The book offers even more than its title suggests: a true trove of resources for students (and their teachers) who face the exciting - but often rough - passage from the routine calculations of elementary calculus to the deeper arguments and insights of real analysis. There are gems here for average students who need review; for the quickest students who need mathematical challenges; for teachers who need ideas; and for everyone with a taste for mathematical highlights and culture.' Paul Zorn, St Olaf College

    'Brabenec has provided a rich smorgasbord of mathematical analysis - including a host of problems, historical essays, and selected readings-from which no one should go away hungry.' William Dunham, Muhlenberg College
