undergraduate analysis is not that bad, unless your text was Rudin. The real bad/painfull analysis starts at the gradute level. They assume you know almost everything from Rudin's text (even if you didnt use it as an undergrad). And they assume you know everything about topology.

For hard math classes like that I try to over learn the material. I do the homeworks over and over. I do as many examples that I can and if there are theorems in the book that have proofs, I usually do them over and over until I can prove them without looking. Even if the theorem looks...

for the second part start with a^(-x) and multiply by a well placed 1. Since 1(anything)=anything so try multiplying by 1 where your 1= (a^x)/(a^x)

If you did well in calc 1,2,3 then I would say to try and squeeze in an "intro to analysis class" if you can. You will learn a lot about proofs, some schools call it advanced calculus. As for books I would check out: elementary analysis: the theory of calculus, by Ken Ross foundations of...

WHat are the options for a math Ph.D. besides teaching?? Hi, I will be getting my BS in pure math this spring and I need some advice. I breezed through the undergrad math curriculum in 3 years and this year I am taking real analysis and analytic function theory which are 600 level (master...
