Real Analysis builds the theory behind calculus directly from the basic concepts of real numbers, limits, and open and closed sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. It gives the three characterizations of continuity: via epsilon-delta, sequences, and open sets. It gives the three characterizations of compactness: as ""closed and bounded,"" via sequences, and via open covers. Topics include Fourier series, the Gamma function, metric spaces, and Ascoli's Theorem. The text not only provides efficient proofs, but also shows the student how to come up with them. The excellent exercises come with select solutions in the back. Here is a real analysis text that is short enough for the student to read and understand and complete enough to be the primary text for a serious undergraduate course. Frank Morgan is the author of five books and over one hundred articles on mathematics. He is an inaugural recipient of the Mathematical Association of America's national Haimo award for excellence in teaching. With this book, Morgan has finally brought his famous direct style to an undergraduate real analysis text.
