Mathematical Analysis (South Asia Edition)

This book is intended as an easy and unfussy introduction to mathematical analysis. Little formal reliance is made on the reader's previous mathematical background but those with no training at all in the elementary techniques of calculus would dobetter turn to some other book. An effort has been made to lay bare the bones of the theory by eliminating as much unnecessary detail as is feasible. To achievethis end and to ensure that all results can be readily illustrated with concrete examples the book deals only with `bread and butter' analysis on the real line the temptation to discuss generalisation in more abstract spaces having been reluctantly suppressed. However the need to prepare the way for these generalisations has been kept well in mind.
