...truly marvelous...weaves an interesting, lively, and crystal clear sequence of ideas comprising the heart of modern analysis. The order of presentation is so carefully chosen and the exposition is so masterful as to possess the traits of a literary art form. --MAA Reviews, January 2015 The exposition is very clear and unhurried and the book would be useful both as a text and a book for self-study. The last chapters go beyond what is usually covered in analysis courses and this is all to the good. --Sigurdur Helgason, MIT There is a literary quality in the writing that is rare in mathematics texts. It is a pleasure to read this book. The exercises are a strong feature of the book and the examples are well chosen and plentiful. --Peter Duren, University of Michigan The outstanding features of the book are the wealth of examples and exercises, the interesting biographical data, and the introduction to wavelets and dynamical systems. --Duong H. Phong, Columbia University McDonald and Weiss have crafted a treasure chest of exercises in real analysis. Just an amazing and broad collection. Students and researchers will surely benefit from the enormous amount of superb exercises. --Enno Lenzmann, University of Copenhagen I was very impressed by the motivating discussions of a number of difficult concepts, along with their fresh approach to the details following. Their general philosophy of starting with concrete ideas, and slowly abstracting, worked well in communicating even the most difficult concepts in the course. --Todd Kemp, University of California, San Diego

This is a beautifully written text. There is an excellent choice of topics and results, topics are well motivated, proofs are precise and very readable, and there are lots of meaningful examples and useful exercises. --Bruce A. Barnes, University of Oregon This text provides the 'between the lines' insight that many students need. The greatest strengths of the text are the order of topics, the inclusion of all major ideas of the theory, the easy readability, and the strong motivation and tight organization of topics. --Dennis D. Berkey, Boston University The authors' exposition is extremely clear. There is literary quality in the writing that is rare in mathematics texts. It is a pleasure to read this text. --Peter L. Duren, University of Michigan

Author Information

Neil A. Weiss (deceased) received his Ph.D. from UCLA and subsequently accepted an assistant-professor position at Arizona State University (ASU), where he was ultimately promoted to the rank of full professor. Weiss has taught mathematics, probability, statistics, and operations research from the freshman level to the advanced graduate level. In recognition of his excellence in teaching, he received the Dean's Quality Teaching Award from the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He has also been runner-up twice for the Charles Wexler Teaching Award in the ASU School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Weiss's comprehensive knowledge and experience ensures that his texts are mathematically accurate, as well as pedagogically sound. Weiss has published research papers in both theoretical and applied mathematics, including probability, engineering, operations research, numerical analysis, and psychology. He has also published several teaching-related papers. In addition to his numerous research publications, Weiss has authored or coauthored books in real analysis, probability, statistics, and finite mathematics. His texts-well known for their precision, readability, and pedagogical excellence-are used worldwide.
