Based on reviewer and user feedback, this edition features a new chapter on the Riemann integral including the subject of uniform continuity, as well as a discussion of epsilon-delta convergence and a section that details the modern preference for convergence of sequences over convergence of series. Both mathematics and secondary education majors will appreciate the focus on mathematicians who developed key concepts and the difficulties they faced"--Provided by publisher.Pure and applied mathematics (John Wiley & Sons : Unnumbered)Mathematical analysisFunctions of real variablesMathematical analysis.Functions of real variables.515/.8MAT005000bisacshStahl Saul141807MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019659903321Real analysis4417500UNINA
