  • The Real Numbers

    An Introduction to Set Theory and Analysis

    by John Stillwell ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)

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
