  • The Real Numbers

    An Introduction to Set Theory and Analysis

    by John Stillwell ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    While most texts on real analysis are content to assume the real numbers, or to treat them only briefly, this text makes a serious study of the real number system and the issues it brings to light. Analysis needs the real numbers to model the line, and to support the concepts of continuity and measure. But these seemingly simple requirements lead to deep issues of set theory—uncountability, the ... Read more
