The third edition of this well known text continues to provide a solid foundation in mathematical analysis for undergraduate and first-year graduate students. The text begins with a discussion of the real number system as a complete ordered field.
Principles of Mathematical Analysis Walter Rudin 6. Strengthen the conclusion of Theorem 10.8 by showing that the functions i can be made di erentiable, even smooth (in nitely di erentiable). (Use Exercise 1 of Chap. 8 in the construction of the auxiliary functions ’i.) 7. (a) Show that the simplex Qk is the smallest convex subset of Rk. The Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications presents papers that treat mathematical analysis and its numerous applications. The journal emphasizes articles devoted to the mathematical treatment of questions arising in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, particularly those that stress analytical aspects and novel problems and their solutions.

The text begins with a discussion of the real number system as a complete ordered field. (Dedekind's construction is now treated in an appendix to Chapter I.) The topological background needed for the development of convergence, continuity, differentiation and integration is provided in Chapter 2. There is a new section on the gamma function, and many new and interesting exercises are included.
This text is part of the Walter Rudin Student Series in Advanced Mathematics. It's the classic. Terse, direct, clear, and horribly painful.This book forms the basis for the first class in real analysis (in a single variable) for countless thousands of hapless students who decide to concentrate on math. It's chosen by professors who have had decades of experience as university mathematicians, and have achieved a certain Zen-like understanding of the knowledge contained within.It's too bad they forget what it was like to receive that knowledge.As the purchaser and consumer It's the classic.

This is the gateway that those in knowledge and power have chosen for your entre to this field.There are those that will love this book, find themselves within it, and savor every moment they spend turning the pages to new realms of knowledge.To the rest of us, I recommending finding one of those people and kidnapping them.
Force them to do things they are unfamiliar with, things that are illogical and unwholesome. Then ask them to tutor you. This is the best mathematics book i've ever had a pleasure of using, even if it totally reduced my brain to oatmeal. Don't let the size of the book deceive you (it's much smaller than most math textbooks.) it's incredibly terse, the problem sets are 'fucking bullshit' (mind you, this is what me and my classmates would usually say after trying to attack a single problem for about a good couple of hours - but as 'fucking bullshit' the problems were, they are pedagogically EXCELLENT problem my god. This is the best mathematics book i've ever had a pleasure of using, even if it totally reduced my brain to oatmeal. I have mixed feelings about this book. How to describe it.
Ok, let's talk kung-fu movies. So there's a standard trope in martial arts movies where the young apprentice shows up at the stoop of the Old Master and says, 'teach me to fight'. And the Old Master decides that instead of doing the obvious thing and having our hapless padawan practice something reasonable like, you know, punching techniques, the Old Master tells the aspirant do a series of incomprehensible and difficult tasks.

Carrying the Old Master up and down the mountains. Knitting sweaters while hanging upside-down over hot coals. Doing the Old Master's laundry. Usually, it's never clear if the training is difficult because Sensei is trying to impart some kind of deeper wisdom or if he's really just a resentful old jerk who takes pleasure in making young students suffer.Principles of Mathematical Analysis is the Old Master. It is completely uncompromising — no diagrams, the proofs are often opaque, the definitions unmotivated — and the book carries more than a whiff of that sadistic strain in math education that sees formal rigor and a lack of justification as a kind of intellectual machismo.
The style grew on me a bit while I was reading it, but on the whole it's not a friendly book.Still — wax on, wax off. There's probably a better book to learn analysis from, but then again, maybe the difficulty is helpful. I don't know. In any case, if you can get through this one, you'll probably learn something.
The copy of Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin that I own is interesting in one way; it states that it is the Indian Edition. Now I don’t know much about publishing, but the biggest issue for me was whether or not the book was in English since I don’t know any Indian languages. I mean, I suppose the paper making up the book is slightly thinner and perhaps it uses a different measure of size, but other than that it didn’t need to say that on the cover.This mathematical book is mu The copy of Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin that I own is interesting in one way; it states that it is the Indian Edition.

I mean, I suppose the paper making up the book is slightly thinner and perhaps it uses a different measure of size, but other than that it didn’t need to say that on the cover.This mathematical book is much like any other mathematical textbook that I own and have read, it starts with the basics and builds upon those basics in a systematic manner. The book contains proofs of theorems and practice problems, making it a very good resource.I have heard that this book is used as a textbook in classes, but I never had to take a class in Analysis. As I might have mentioned long ago, all of the books that I read are only for my own amusement. However, it would be neat if I also learned something along the way.The book delivers in being amusing and informative. I suppose it might be less amusing if this was a book I was assigned, but that is beside the point. In being informative, the book contains eleven chapters and covers subjects from The Real and Complex Number Systems to Lebesgue Theory. Finally, the book has a bibliography, an index, and a list of the special symbols used in the book.

Useful for learning what are typically the most elegant approaches to proving theorems (which may be desirable from a mathematical perspective or simply a cognitive perspective - it can be difficult to remember the details of a messier proof).For first exposures to the field, this should be complemented with a book that takes a more constructive, computational approach (especially if intended for use in a calculus course). An accompanying book which provides more exposition for motivation/intuition may also be helpful. I recommend 'Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Forms' by Hubbard and Hubbard for both of these purposes.
This book is plain overrated. There is barely any motivation.
And it is intended for a first undergraduate course on the subject. Good luck on doing that if you're studying on your own from this book.If you are studying on your own and have never done rigorous mathematics before, avoid it. If you're looking for a reference, there are better ones out there.There are no offered solutions to problems, although solution manuals already exist on the internet, so that helps if you absolutely must use This book is plain overrated.

I've only read the first five or six chapters (up to differentiation), as those were the only topics we dealt with in Analysis I (Analysis II covers the second half). The textbook is well written, I think. It goes into very detailed proofs of the theorems in the text and the section about the construction of the reals was written in great depth. I thought it was an extremely useful book for the class.
