I am taking real analysis at my university and I found this book to be an amazing supplement. The book that my university provides is lacking in its explanations and exercises. This book is absolutely amazing because it gives good explanations, examples and problems. It even provides some visual examples when you're having a tough time visualizing all of the inequalities. Absolutely love this book, and I recommend it to every Math major who isn't very skilled at pure mathematics yet.

Please note that this is written from the perspective of an undergraduate student with the only fundamentals in higher level math coming a proof writing class. I picked this up to supplement the book, "The Way of Analysis, Revised Edition" by Robert S. Strichartz for a first course in Real Analysis.
The good: The book is compact, easy to read, and somewhat easy to find the results you are looking for. The occasional diagram really help develop geometric interpretation.
The bad: The book itself is of lower quality. The pages are thin and feel like printer paper.
The bottom line: If you are bad at math, like me, and need a book to hold your hand with a list of definitions and the theorems that emerge as a result with the occasional example sprinkled in? This book does just that.
Heres some more info about me. I am bad at math. I don't know how I got to this point in my life taking this class. I don't know what is going on until I go home and re read my notes and watch videos and read through examples and sit on results for a week or two... You get the picture, I need a lot of extra help. This is where this book comes in. For some...

This book is amazing start to finish. Most books throw definitions at you without any motivation other than "this is how it is, now learn it." I always hated this approach to maths, because to me the WHAT was never more important then the WHY and I think that that approach is why a lot of people get turned off by mathematics in the first place (myself included). The book is amazing for self study. I see some people complaining about the non inclusion of solutions, where I found them with a simple google search. All in all one of the best books to study before heading on into deeper waters, as it also teaches you to ask the right questions and hence find motivations yourself when they are not stated explicitly. Must Buy!

According to John Derbyshire. Mathematics is traditionally divided into four subdisciplines: arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and analysis. You know what arithmetic and geometry are, and you probably have taken a high-school algebra class. "Analysis", however, is a little obscure. The word has a specialized meaning in mathematics. It is that branch of mathematics that includes calculus. More properly, analysis is the mathematics of the continuum.
The calculus was developed in the late 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Newton and Leibniz however, didn't quite know what they were doing and inevitably they were a little sloppy about defining things. (This is usual when a new area of mathematics is developed.) At the heart of the problem was this: calculus is all about continuous things -- in calculus space and time are continuous. What that means roughly is that we assume in calculus that every point on the line between two points A and B exists. (There is reason to believe this may not be physically true, but that is not relevant to the mathematics under discussion.) Furthermore, we assume that a number can be assigned to every one of those...

Nice paper quality (I got the harcover edition) and overall, the content is pretty illustrative. My favorite part of the book is the exercise sections. I really love how much one can learn from solving the excercises given in Abbott's book. Some of them are quite challenging, but solvable.

Eu recebi o livro hoje. o livro é um clássico da análise real.

The book does not give for granted anything but a knowledge of calculus. Explanations are clear and theorems are motivated. Very interesting for a non-mathematician like myself.

This is the most beautifully written book I have ever laid my eyes on. Abbot sent us a gift from above with this book. There never has been, and very well may never be, another textbook so well written as this one. I used this book in my first semester of real analysis as an undergrad and can confidently say that I understand the bulk of what analysis is about after having read this book. The reason I love this book is that Abbot presents an introduction at the beginning of each chapter that motivates what is about to come. Then after completing each section, he caps off the chapter with some sort of mind-blowing conclusion that builds on what you have been just studying for the last 3-4 sections. The definitions are consistent throughout the book as well. The definitions for convergence of a sequence, functional limit, continuity, uniform continuity, convergence of a sequence of functions, etc are all written with intimately close language and symbolic representation making it easy to see the similarities and differences between the definitions. Sorry Rudin, but this is the one true way to learn analysis. I highly recommend this to any professor who is thinking...
