Real and Complex Analysis (McGraw-Hill Series in Higher Mathematics)

About this Item

This is an advanced text for the one- or two-semester course in analysis taught primarily to math, science, computer science, and electrical engineering majors at the junior, senior or graduate level. The basic techniques and theorems of analysis are presented in such a way that the intimate connections between its various branches are strongly emphasized. The traditionally separate subjects of 'real analysis' and 'complex analysis' are thus united in one volume. Some of the basic ideas from functional analysis are also included. This is the only book to take this unique approach. The second edition includes new proofs which provide stronger results allowing simplier expanded presentations. Proofs of theorems presented in the book are concise and complete and many challenging exercises appear at the end of each chapter. The book is arranged so that each chapter builds upon the other, giving students a gradual understanding of the subject. This text was a standard in introducing these techniques for over 30 years and through three editions (1966, 1974 & 1986). The editors were Jack L. Farnsworth, Bradford Bayne, and M. E. Margolies; and the production supervisor was Thomas J. LoPinto. The copy for sale is from the 1st printing in 1973 of the 2nd edition. xiii + 452pp. Walter Rudin (1921?2010) was an Austrian-American mathematician and professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin?Madison. In addition to his contributions to complex and harmonic analysis, Rudin was known for his mathematical analysis textbooks: Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Real and Complex Analysis, and Functional Analysis. Rudin wrote Principles of Mathematical Analysis only two years after obtaining his Ph.D. from Duke University, while he was an Instructor at MIT. Principles, acclaimed for its elegance and clarity, has since become a standard textbook for introductory real analysis courses in the United States. Hardcover has laminated green cloth boards with gold lettering, but no DJ. Scuff marks along edges. Prior owner's name written on ffep and ink-stamped on rfep, adds no value.
