Book Description
Adopting a student-centered approach, this book anticipates and addresses the common challenges that students face when learning abstract concepts like limits, continuity, and inequalities. The text introduces these concepts gradually, giving students a clear pathway to understanding the mathematical tools that underpin much of modern science and technology. In addition to its focus on accessibility, the book maintains a strong emphasis on mathematical rigor. It provides precise, careful definitions and explanations while avoiding common teaching pitfalls, ensuring that students gain a deep understanding of core concepts, and blending algebraic and geometric perspectives to help students see the full picture. The theoretical results presented in the book are consistently applied to practical problems. By providing a clear and supportive introduction to real analysis, the book equips students with the tools they need to confidently engage with both theoretical mathematics and its wide array of practical applications.
