• Book Details

AMS Chelsea Publishing
Volume: 3762015; 575 pp
MSC: Primary 26; 28;

This classic book is a text for a standard introductory course in real analysis, covering sequences and series, limits and continuity, differentiation, elementary transcendental functions, integration, infinite series and products, and trigonometric series. The author has scrupulously avoided any presumption at all that the reader has any knowledge of mathematical concepts until they are formally presented in the book.

One significant way in which this book differs from other texts at this level is that the integral which is first mentioned is the Lebesgue integral on the real line. There are at least three good reasons for doing this. First, this approach is no more difficult to understand than is the traditional theory of the Riemann integral. Second, the readers will profit from acquiring a thorough understanding of Lebesgue integration on Euclidean spaces before they enter into a study of abstract measure theory. Third, this is the integral that is most useful to current applied mathematicians and theoretical scientists, and is essential for any serious work with trigonometric series.

The exercise sets are a particularly attractive feature of this book. A great many of the exercises are projects of many parts which, when completed in the order given, lead the student by easy stages to important and interesting results. Many of the exercises are supplied with copious hints. Thanks to the generous help of the author's friend, Professor Robert Burckel, this new printing contains a large number of corrections, a short author biography as well as a list of selected publications of the author.

Stromberg's book gives an excellent treatment of real analysis. Making no assumption that the reader is familiar with "baby real variables," it starts from the beginning and develops the Lebesgue theory of measure and integration, then applies the techniques to a study of Fourier analysis. The book is a classic, suitable as a text for the standard graduate course. It's great to have it available again!

… it is a splendid book well worth reprinting.
