Advanced Calculus

ADVANCED CALCULUS rigorously presents the fundamental concepts of mathematical analysis in the clearest, simplest way, within the context of illuminating examples and stimulating exercises. Emphasizing the unity of the subject, the text shows that mathematical analysis is not a collection of isolated facts and techniques, but rather a coherent body of knowledge. Beyond the intrinsic importance of the actual subject, the author demonstrates that the study of mathematical analysis instills habits of thought that are essential for a proper understanding of many areas of pure and applied mathematics. Students gain a precise understanding of the subject, together with an appreciation of its coherence and significance. The full book is suitable for a year-long course; the first nine chapters are suitable for a one-term course on functions of a single variable. This book is included in the Brooks/Cole Series in Advanced Mathematics (Series Editor: Paul Sally, Jr.).Patrick M. Fitzpatrick is the author of 'Advanced Calculus', published 2005 under ISBN 9780534376031 and ISBN 0534376037.
