I have an undergraduate degree in physics and am looking to go to graduate school in math (for a Masters) in the next couple of years. I have been out of school almost a decade and half but I recently took a couple of classes at my alma mater to refresh my musty mind: a course in Advanced Calculus taught using the Moore Method (which I can't recommend highly enough -I wish all Math classes were taught this way) and a year long Advanced Linear Algebra at the senior/beginning graduate level.
I still have another year or so before I can enroll full time in school and I am planning to use that time for some self study. I want to study analysis and I am torn between Whitaker Watson and baby Rudin. WW has been on my todo list for fifteen years so I really want to get it done. Plus its a good book for those interested in applications. I also want to read Rudin since it is a good introduction to the modern language of analysis. My question is which one should I read first?
