Real Analysis: Foundations
Author: Sergei Ovchinnikov
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030647013
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This textbook explores the foundations of real analysis using the framework of general ordered fields, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of the area. Focusing on the logical structure of real analysis, the definitions and interrelations between core concepts are illustrated with the use of numerous examples and counterexamples. Readers will learn of the equivalence between various theorems and the completeness property of the underlying ordered field. These equivalences emphasize the fundamental role of real numbers in analysis. Comprising six chapters, the book opens with a rigorous presentation of the theories of rational and real numbers in the framework of ordered fields. This is followed by an accessible exploration of standard topics of elementary real analysis, including continuous functions, differentiation, integration, and infinite series. Readers will find this text conveniently self-contained, with three appendices included after the main text, covering an overview of natural numbers and integers, Dedekind's construction of real numbers, historical notes, and selected topics in algebra. Real Analysis: Foundations is ideal for students at the upper-undergraduate or beginning graduate level who are interested in the logical underpinnings of real analysis. With over 130 exercises, it is suitable for a one-semester course on elementary real analysis, as well as independent study.

Publisher: Courier Dover Publications
ISBN: 0486834743
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Concise but thorough and systematic, this categorical discussion of the real number system presents a series of step-by-step axioms, each illustrated by examples. The highly accessible text is suitable for readers at varying levels of knowledge and experience: advanced high school students and college undergraduates as well as prospective high school and college instructors. The abundance of examples and the wealth of exercises—more than 300, all with answers provided—make this a particularly valuable book for self-study. The first two chapters examine fields and ordered fields, followed by an introduction to natural numbers and mathematical induction.

New Foundations in Mathematics
Author: Garret Sobczyk
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0817683852
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
The first book of its kind, New Foundations in Mathematics: The Geometric Concept of Number uses geometric algebra to present an innovative approach to elementary and advanced mathematics. Geometric algebra offers a simple and robust means of expressing a wide range of ideas in mathematics, physics, and engineering. In particular, geometric algebra extends the real number system to include the concept of direction, which underpins much of modern mathematics and physics. Much of the material presented has been developed from undergraduate courses taught by the author over the years in linear algebra, theory of numbers, advanced calculus and vector calculus, numerical analysis, modern abstract algebra, and differential geometry. The principal aim of this book is to present these ideas in a freshly coherent and accessible manner. New Foundations in Mathematics will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics and physics who are looking for a unified treatment of many important geometric ideas arising in these subjects at all levels. The material can also serve as a supplemental textbook in some or all of the areas mentioned above and as a reference book for professionals who apply mathematics to engineering and computational areas of mathematics and physics.

The Real Numbers
Author: John Stillwell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 331901577X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
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 axiom of choice, and large cardinals. In fact, virtually all the concepts of infinite set theory are needed for a proper understanding of the real numbers, and hence of analysis itself. By focusing on the set-theoretic aspects of analysis, this text makes the best of two worlds: it combines a down-to-earth introduction to set theory with an exposition of the essence of analysis—the study of infinite processes on the real numbers. It is intended for senior undergraduates, but it will also be attractive to graduate students and professional mathematicians who, until now, have been content to "assume" the real numbers. Its prerequisites are calculus and basic mathematics. Mathematical history is woven into the text, explaining how the concepts of real number and infinity developed to meet the needs of analysis from ancient times to the late twentieth century. This rich presentation of history, along with a background of proofs, examples, exercises, and explanatory remarks, will help motivate the reader. The material covered includes classic topics from both set theory and real analysis courses, such as countable and uncountable sets, countable ordinals, the continuum problem, the Cantor–Schröder–Bernstein theorem, continuous functions, uniform convergence, Zorn's lemma, Borel sets, Baire functions, Lebesgue measure, and Riemann integrable functions.

ISBN: 9789788456322
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This book is intended as a serious introduction to the studyof mathematical analysis. In contrast to calculus, mathematical analysis does not involve formula manipulation, memorizing integrals or applications to other fields of science. No.It involves geometric intuition and proofs of theorems. It ispure mathematics! Given the mathematical preparation andinterest of our intended audience which, apart from mathematics majors, includes students of statistics, computer science, physics, students of mathematics education and students of engineering, we have not given the axiomatic development of the real number system. However, we assumethat the reader is familiar with sets and functions. This bookis divided into two parts. Part I covers elements of mathematical analysis which include: the real number system, bounded subsets of real numbers, sequences of real numbers, monotone sequences, Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, Cauchysequences and completeness of R, continuity, intermediatevalue theorem, continuous maps on [a, b], uniform continuity, closed sets, compact sets, differentiability, series of nonnegative real numbers, alternating series, absolute and conditional convergence; and re-arrangement of series. The contents of Part I are adequate for a semester course in mathematical analysis at the 200 level. Part II covers Riemannintegrals. In particular, the Riemann integral, basic properties of Riemann integral, pointwise convergence of sequencesof functions, uniform convergence of sequences of functions, series of real-valued functions: term by term differentiationand integration; power series: uniform convergence of powerseries; uniform convergence at end points; and equi-continuity are covered. Part II covers the standard syllabus for asemester mathematical analysis course at the 300 level. Thetopics covered in this book provide a reasonable preparationfor any serious study of higher mathematics. But for one toreally benefit from the book, one must spend a great deal ofixtime on it, studying the contents very carefully and attempting all the exercises, especially the miscellaneous exercises atthe end of the book. These exercises constitute an importantintegral part of the book.Each chapter begins with clear statements of the most important theorems of the chapter. The proofs of these theoremsgenerally contain fundamental ideas of mathematical analysis. Students are therefore encouraged to study them verycarefully and to discover these id

Book Description
Foundations of Analysis has two main goals. The first is to develop in students the mathematical maturity and sophistication they will need as they move through the upper division curriculum. The second is to present a rigorous development of both single and several variable calculus, beginning with a study of the properties of the real number system. The presentation is both thorough and concise, with simple, straightforward explanations. The exercises differ widely in level of abstraction and level of difficulty. They vary from the simple to the quite difficult and from the computational to the theoretical. Each section contains a number of examples designed to illustrate the material in the section and to teach students how to approach the exercises for that section. --Book cover.
