Mathematics

For courses in undergraduate Analysis (an easy one) and Transition to Advanced Mathematics.

This text helps fill in the groundwork students need to succeed in real analysis—often considered the most difficult course in the undergraduate curriculum. By introducing logic and by emphasizing the structure and nature of the arguments used, Lay helps students move carefully from computationally oriented courses to abstract mathematics with its emphasis on proofs. Clear expositions and examples, helpful practice problems, numerous drawings, and selected hints/answers make this text readable and student-oriented, and teacher- friendly.

• NEW - Review of Key Terms after each section—Emphasizes the important role of definitions and language in mathematics and helps students organize their studying.

• NEW - Glossary of Key Terms at the end of the book—Includes 180 key terms with the meaning and page number where each is introduced; a great help to students.

• NEW - 6 New Figures and more than 150 new exercises—Illustrate key ideas and encourage student practice.

• NEW - Clarification of exposition in several sections. cf. Example 16.3, Theorem 21.14, Corollary 21.15, Example 21.16, Theorem 22.2, and Theorem 27.2.

• More than 250 true/false questions—Unique to this text and tied directly to the narrative; good for starting class discussion and debate.

  • Carefully worded to anticipate common student errors.

  • Encourage students to read the text carefully and think critically about what they have read.

  • Often the justification for an answer of "false" will be an example that the students can add to their growing collection of counterexamples.

• More than 100 practice problems throughout the text—A key strength of this text.

  • Lets students work a simple problem relating to what they have just read.

  • Provides answers at the end of each section just prior to the exercises for immediate reinforcement and a check of student understanding.

• Exceptionally high-quality drawings to illustrate key ideas.

• Numerous examples and more than 1,000 exercises.

• Fill-in-the-blank proofs—Guides students in the art of writing proofs.

• Review of Key Terms after each section—Emphasizes the important role of definitions and language in mathematics and helps students organize their studying.

• Glossary of Key Terms at the end of the book—Includes 180 key terms with the meaning and page number where each is introduced; a great help to students.

• 6 New Figures and more than 150 new exercises—Illustrate key ideas and encourage student practice.

• Clarification of exposition in several sections. cf. Example 16.3, Theorem 21.14, Corollary 21.15, Example 21.16, Theorem 22.2, and Theorem 27.2.

Real Analysis  (Mathematics)

"Let me begin by saying that I really like this book, and I do not say that of very many books. What impresses me most is the level of motivation and explanation given for the basic logic, the construction of proofs, and the ways of thinking about proofs that this book provides in its first few sections. It felt that the author was talking to the reader the way I would like to talk to students. There was an air of familiarity there. All kinds of useful remarks were made, the type I would like to make in my lectures." — Aimo Hinkkanen, University of Illinois at Urbana

"The writing style is suitable for our students. It is clear, logical, and concise. The examples are very helpful and well-developed. The topics are thoroughly covered and at the appropriate level for our students. The material is technically accurate, and the pedagogical material is effectively presented." — John Konvalina, University of Nebraska at Omaha
