Summary

Summary

This graduate text in real analysis is a solid building block for research in analysis, PDEs, the calculus of variations, probability, and approximation theory. It covers all the core topics, such as a basic introduction to functional analysis, and it discusses other topics often not addressed including Radon measures, the Besicovitch covering Theorem, the Rademacher theorem, and a constructive presentation of the Stone-Weierstrass Theoroem.

Choice Review

The book is a valuable, comprehensive reference source on real analysis. The first eight chapters cover core material that is part of most courses taught on the subject, followed by a collection of special topics that stay within the framework of real analysis. In addition to the content, what makes the book especially useful as a reference source is its organization. The table of contents is 16 pages long, as there is more contained information than can be found in most books on the subject. The subject index is also longer than usual. It should be noted that the book is not ideal for self-study or classroom use. There is very little text connecting one result to another or other text that puts results into context--undergraduates will find the style terse. There are not enough exercises, and their solutions are never included (however, there are occasional hints). The exercises are often placed far away from the related material in units called "Problems and Complements," but there are numerous sections without any exercises. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and faculty. This work should be used solely as a reference. --Miklos Bona, University of Florida
