Books like Introduction to analysis by Arthur Mattuck

Introduction to the Problems in Analysis outlines an elementary, one semester course which exposes students to both the process of rigor, and the rewards inherent in taking an axiomatic approach to the study of functions of a real variable. The aim of a course in real analysis should be to challenge and improve mathematical intuition rather than to verify it. The philosophy of this book is to focus attention on questions which give analysis its inherent fascination. Does the Cantor set contain any irrational numbers? Can the set of points where a function is discontinuous be arbitrary? Can the rational numbers be written as a countable intersection of open sets? Is an infinitely differentiable function necessarily the limit of its Taylor series? Giving these topics center stage, the motivation for a rigorous approach is justified by the fact that they are inaccessible without it.

A Beginners choice for learning Real Analysis.

This book is designed for a first course in real analysis which follows the standard course in elementary calculus. Since many students encounter rigorous mathematical theory for the first time in this course, the authors include such elementary topics as the axioms of algebra and their immediate consequences and proofs of theorems on limits. The pace is deliberately slow, the proofs are detailed. The emphasis of the presentation is on theory, but the books also contains a full treatment (with many illustrative examples and exercises) of the standard topics in infinite series, Fourier series, multidimensional calculus, elements of metric spaces, and vector field theory. There are many problems which require the student to learn techniques of proofs and the standard tools of analysis. -- Back cover.
