Description

This lively introductory text exposes the student to the rewards of a rigorous study of functions of a real variable. In each chapter, informal discussions of questions that give analysis its inherent fascination are followed by precise, but not overly formal, developments of the techniques needed to make sense of  them. By focusing on the unifying themes of approximation and the resolution of paradoxes that arise in the transition from the finite to the infinite, the text turns what could be a daunting cascade of definitions and theorems into a coherent and engaging progression of ideas. Acutely aware of the need for rigor, the student is much better prepared to understand what constitutes a proper mathematical proof and how to write one.

Fifteen years of classroom experience with the first edition of Understanding Analysis have solidified and refined the central narrative of the second edition. Roughly 150 new exercises join a selection of the best exercises from the first edition, and three more project-style sections have been added. Investigations of Euler’s computation of ζ(2), the Weierstrass Approximation ­ Theorem, and the gamma function are now among the book’s cohort of seminal results serving as motivation and payoff for the beginning student to master the methods of analysis.

  1. DiesUndDas (verified owner) –

    Das Buch ist sehr gut geeignet für Leser, die ihre Analysiskenntnisse (hier Diffenrenzieren und Integrieren) auffrischen wollen oder als Ergänzung zu einem Lehrbuch. Im wesentlichen ist das Buch eine Aufgabensammlung mit sehr ausführlichen Musterlösungen. Für meinen Geschmack sind diese schon etwas zu ausführlich, da sich vieles dann auch wiederholt. Der Erklär- bzw. Theorieteil zu Beginn eines jeden Kapitels ist sehr kurz und eher eine Formelsammlung. Dann werden 2-3 Beispielaufgaben vorgerechnet, bevor es zu den Übungsaufgaben geht. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad der Aufgaben ist leicht bis mittel, aber das ist natürlich eine sehr subjektive Einschätzung.

    Zusammenfassung: Gut geeignet für Leute, die Übungsaufgaben rechnen wollen und ggf. Musterlösungen benötigen.

    It is a very good book to practice your calculus skills. Therefore, personally, I would not recommend it to absolute beginners that have never heard of calculus before, simply because the book does not explain ‘what’ calculus is. It is as advertised, a workbook.

    Great Book AAA+++

    I bought this book because I’ll need calculus 1, 2, & 3 for my major and I wanted to self-study ahead of time because i had never taken calculus before.

    Like other reviews mention, this book has instructions, practice problems, and step by step solutions. It does not include theory or anything conceptual, for example you’ll learn how to find the definite integral of a function but you won’t get an explanation of what a definite integral is.

    This may sound as though you need background in calculus before attempting this book, however that is not the case! I went in with zero background, started working through the book following instructions, and learned how to solve all the problems all while knowing nothing about the significance of each correct answer.

    It may be counterintuitive, but learning how to solve calculus problems before learning calculus itself actually made it so much easier for me to grasp both components. I recommend considering this backwards method if you’re like i was with no background, finding the solutions to these problems involves memorizing several rules and being proficient in algebra & trig, that’s it.

    Some of the theories and concepts in calculus can be difficult to wrap your head around on a fundamental level, but it’s easier when you’re not simultaneously trying to understand abstract concepts while also learning how to solve practice problems involving them.

    Will definitely check out other books by the author

  7. Flavio Rodrigues (verified owner) –

    Se tens dúvidas ou queres começar em cálculo. Altamente recomendo este livro.

  8. Filip (verified owner) –

    Bardzo dobra książka dla osób chcących się nauczyć całkowania, pochodnych i granic funkcji w punkcie po angielsku. Nie ma zbędnych wprowadzeń teoretycznych, które można znaleźć w internecie, tylko są sposoby rozwiązywania i zadania do tego.

  9. Pierre Santos (verified owner) –

    Chegou bem antes da previsão inicial, chegou em bom estado, e o livro tem uma língua clara, onde se você souber inglês do básico ao intermediário você consegue entender. Belíssimo livro

    To keep away my brain fog.

  11. paolotto88 (verified owner) –

    Il libro propone con gradualità una serie di esercizi (tutti risolti) sugli argomenti “classici” dell’Analisi Matematica (derivate, limiti, integrali).

  12. Tom (verified owner) –

    I was very surprised by how well this book was written. It contains clear and easily understandable examples that are well presented even on Kindle. Highly recommended.

  13. sten (verified owner) –

    good bok

  14. ANTONIO G. (verified owner) –

    Las explicaciones justas y necesarias y montones de ejercicios todos con sus soluciones paso a paso. Sin duda compraré más libros de este autor.

    Got this to refresh after getting rid of some older texts in the university bin. 🙂 Well laid out and good examples – excellent material coverage, IMO. Well worth the quality price.

    Math makes sense

  17. MrPanda (verified owner) –

    La practica hace al maesto. Excelente libro para desarrollar ejercicios. Cada tema comienza con una breve secciom teorica en la cual se detalla el metodo q se aplica para resolver los ejercicios asi como ejercicios de ejemplo conpletamente resueltos. Es buen libro de apoyo.

  18. Vinod Thomas (verified owner) –

    Good material for practice

  19. Fabio (verified owner) –

    Viele Aufgaben mit ausführlicher Lösung. Sehr gut um das “Handwerk” zu üben.

  20. Nio (verified owner) –

    El libro cumple las espectativas.
    Pero se dañó un poco en el transporte.

  21. nkotb (verified owner) –

    I order quite a few of this type book. It serves the purpose.

  22. Azaan Butt (verified owner) –

    It helped my during my struggles with calculus

  23. Goraw (verified owner) –

    This book has clear and easily understandable examples which are clearly explained and printed.

  24. JOHN (verified owner) –

    This a goog book of mathematics to start learning again mathematical derivation and integration. Quite good mathematical notation, explications and problems to solve.

  25. Mark Williams (verified owner) –

    Like author’s other books it starts well then degenerates into boring exercises

  26. Hanuman Prasad Yedla (verified owner) –

    Remember this is a workbook. It presents formulas, some worked out examples and then leaves u with some unsolved problems. Answers to each and every problem has been given at the end which is useful. In calculus there are bound to be multiple answers to a problem and they have been addressed too which is to be appreciated. Don’t expect proofs for the formulae. This book is not intended to be didactic.
    If u r a beginner, go through the formulas, worked out examples and then try to do exercises without out seeing the solutions. Even if u see the solution, don’t see the whole solution, instead see it only line by line working out on ur own as much as possible.
    If u know the basics, try doing the exercises straight away and enjoy
    If u r a professional, this book is not for u
    Thanks Chris

    Es un libro que ayuda a entender las técnicas básicas de cálculo diferencial e integral. Tiene un enfoque procedimental, acompañado de explicaciones bien fundamentadas y claras para los que quieren tener una práctica adecuada de los métodos básicos del cálculo.

    I just wish there was more space to work problems out.
