E-Book Overview
Introductory Analysis addresses the needs of students taking a course in analysis after completing a semester or two of calculus, and offers an alternative to texts that assume that math majors are their only audience. By using a conversational style that does not compromise mathematical precision, the author explains the material in terms that help the reader gain a firmer grasp of calculus concepts. * Written in an engaging, conversational tone and readable style while softening the rigor and theory * Takes a realistic approach to the necessary and accessible level of abstraction for the secondary education students * A thorough concentration of basic topics of calculus * Features a student-friendly introduction to delta-epsilon arguments * Includes a limited use of abstract generalizations for easy use * Covers natural logarithms and exponential functions * Provides the computational techniques often encountered in basic calculus
