Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications (Pure and Applied Mathematics: A Wiley-Interscience Series of Texts, Monographs and Tracts)

An in-depth look at real analysis and its applications-now expanded and revised. This new edition of the widely used analysis book continues to cover real analysis in greater detail and at a more advanced level than most books on the subject. Encompassing several subjects that underlie much of modern analysis, the book focuses on measure and integration theory, point set topology, and the basics of functional analysis. It illustrates the use of the general theories and introduces readers to other branches of analysis such as Fourier analysis, distribution theory, and probability theory. This edition is bolstered in content as well as in scope-extending its usefulness to students outside of pure analysis as well as those interested in dynamical systems. The numerous exercises, extensive bibliography, and review chapter on sets and metric spaces make Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications, Second Edition invaluable for students in graduate-level analysis courses. New features include: * Revised material on the n-dimensional Lebesgue integral. * An improved proof of Tychonoff's theorem. * Expanded material on Fourier analysis. * A newly written chapter devoted to distributions and differential equations. * Updated material on Hausdorff dimension and fractal dimension.

Many areas of mathematics utilize an imaginary variable with a real variable to form a complex number. Real analysis, as the name implies, is the section of mathematics that studies the functions of a real variable. Real variables are involved in such areas as measurements, integration, and topology. This book covers this fundamental terrain, including complete coverage of measure and integration theory, some point set topology, and rudiments of functional analysis. Real Analysis studies the functions of a real variable, including such areas as measurements and integration and topology. Over 450 exercises of varying levels are included to give readers practice in working with the ideas presented
