Textbook

Introduction to Real Analysis (fourth edition) by Robert G. Bartle and Donald R. Sherbert, John Wiley, 2010.
(you may want to check chegg, or fetchbook)


Course Description

This course deals with the theory of the real line and with functions on the real line. You will study in details topics which are crusial for the development of calculus and which are only briefly cited in Math 151 and Math 152. An important goal of this course is to prepare you for the study of other areas of mathematics. To that end, in addition to the substance of real analysis, the reading, writting and reasoning of formal proofs are emphasized throughout the course.

Appendix A and most of the Chapters 1-6 and Chapter 11 will be covered. The syllabus may be modified if necessary as class progresses. The course emphasis is on rigorous mathematical reasoning (proofs). It is a difficult course that requires a good deal of time and effort. Doing all the homework problems and participating in the class discussions is a must.

The following books are a good source for problems:
