Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book is an elegant unified presentation of the basic concepts of calculus. The conversational style makes the book very readable, not only for mature students, but also for students who have only taken a basic calculus sequence….Students learn not only how to prove a theorem, they also gain an insight in the nature of a proof.”

@text:Introductory Analysis: A Deeper View of Calculus addresses the needs of students taking a course in analysis after completing a semester or two of college level calculus. Textbooks written at this level often assume mathematics majors as their primary audience. This book offers a practical alternative. By using a conversational tone and style that nonetheless does not compromise mathematical rigor, the author explains real analysis in terms that help the reader gain a firmer grasp of calculus concepts before studying more rigorous or abstract mathematics.
