Intro book for Mathematical Analysis

[kmgh]

I am looking to learn analysis on my own - would like to know how does the book "real mathematical analysis" by Pugh compare to baby Rudin.

i don't know anything about pugh, but I don't think rudin is the best book for self studying.

strichartz's the way of analysis isn't the best reference book but it describes things in a "story-like" manner which might help for someone self studying. ross's elementary analsyis is kinda comparable to a spivak calculus type deal, but more geared towarfds lower end analsyis.

ive also heard great things about rosenlicht's intro to analysis (its a cheap dover)

I really liked Introduction to Real Analysis by Bartle and Sherbert. It is a good intro book and it can be used for self study. Pretty good INTRO book. Not as thorough as other books however.

Serge Lang, Undergraduate analysis is a good book.

analysis self-learning is tough - rudin would be hard as it is if you were in a class. go with pugh.

 

[rocomath]

what courses should you have b4 trying to self-study analysis?

 

[Chris Hillman]

Ditto Bartle if you are afraid of baby Rudin. Not that anyone should be afraid of baby Rudin--- it's a wonderful book!
