About this ebook
The first part of Classical Analysis of Real-Valued Functions covers the theorems of existence of supremum and infimum of bounded sets on the real line and the Lagrange formula for differentiable functions. Applications of these results are crucial for classical mathematical analysis, and many are threaded through the text. In the second part of the book, the implicit function theorem plays a central role, while the Gauss–Ostrogradskii formula, surface integration, Heine–Borel lemma, the Ascoli–Arzelà theorem, and the one-dimensional indefinite Lebesgue integral are also covered.
This book is intended for first and second year students majoring in mathematics although students of engineering disciplines will also gain important and helpful insights. It is appropriate for courses in mathematical analysis, functional analysis, real analysis, and calculus and can be used for self-study as well.
