Resource Guide for Real Analysis

Real analysis, often called mathematical analysis or simply analysis, may be regarded as a formidable
counterpart of calculus. It is a subject where one revisits notions encountered in calculus, but with
greater rigor and sometimes with greater generality. Beginning with the attempt to find a more
flexible alternative to the standard Riemann integral: where
the function f has to be bounded and also continuous at almost all the points of interval [a,b],
mathematicians normally take a comprehensive course in real analysis as early as possible.
Some good sources on real analysis are provided in the following guide.

Books
Elementary Analysis: The theory of Calculus
Call number: QA303.R824
This book bridges the gap between elementary calculus and an in-depth-study of real analysis.

Real analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications

Call number: QA300.F667
Treating the theory of measure and integral generally, this book covers differentiation of measures
in abstract measure space and, via the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, on .

Read analysis (4th edition)

Call number: QA331.5.R888 2010
Real Analysis, Fourth Edition, covers the basic material that every reader should know in the classical
theory of functions of a real variable, measure and integration theory, and some of the more
important and elementary topics in general topology and normed linear space theory.

Real and Complex Analysis

eBook
A Course in Calculus and Real Analysis
This book attempts to give a self-contained and rigorous introduction to calculus of functions of one
variable. The presentation and sequencing of topics emphasizes the structural development of
calculus. At the same time, due importance is given to computational techniques and applications.

Real Analysis and Applications: Theory in Practice

This book provides an introduction both to real analysis and to a range of important applications
that depend on this material. Three-fifths of the book is a series of essentially independent chapters
covering topics from Fourier series and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and
convex optimization.

Basic Real Analysis

Advanced Real Analysis
The two books develop concepts and tools in real analysis that are vital to every mathematician,
whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. The books are written as textbooks, and their
primary audience is students who are learning the material for the first time and who are planning a
career in which they will use advanced mathematics professionally. They together contain what the
young mathematician needs to know about real analysis in order to communicate well.

A Problem Book in Real Analysis

This book aims to give independent students the opportunity to discover Real Analysis by
themselves through problem solving.

Real Analysis and Applications

This book contains a series of essentially independent chapters covering topics from Fourier series
and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and convex optimization, which may
help to improve understanding of real analysis and prepare for more intensive work in each topic.

Unlike most print books, it has not been designed to supplement any course or instruction. As such,
it contains several ideas and concepts stacked together which might baffle the uninitiated reader.
