SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a complementary problem book for Vladimir A. Zorich's "Mathematical Analysis 1." Participants recommend a three-volume set available on Amazon, which includes challenging exercises and full solutions. Suggestions also include a method of self-proofing theorems from Zorich's book to enhance understanding. The conversation highlights the importance of engaging with proofs, even when they are concise, to grasp the underlying concepts better.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Vladimir A. Zorich's "Mathematical Analysis 1"
  • Understanding of mathematical proofs and theorems
  • Basic knowledge of problem-solving techniques in mathematical analysis
  • Experience with challenging mathematical exercises
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the three-volume set of problem books recommended in the discussion
  • Practice self-proofing theorems from "Mathematical Analysis 1"
  • Research additional resources for advanced mathematical problem-solving
  • Investigate other series similar to Schaum's Outline that offer challenging exercises
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematical analysis, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of proofs and problem-solving in advanced mathematics.

I am currently studying Vladimir A. Zorich's Mathematical Analysis 1 book. Can anyone suggest me a complementary problem book. Such book should preferably have challenging exercises and generally with full solution. I have already browse through Schuam's Outline series, but I couldn't find any book challenging enough.
I greatly appreciate this help.
Thank you for yours attention.

One thing you can do with the book you have now (probably) is to look at a theorem that the book proves and try to prove it yourself before looking at the proof. If you are stuck you can look at the first line of the proof, then look at each successive line when you are still stuck. Since the proof is in the book you have the answers without needing a separate book.
 
Thank you Mr jbunniii, I will surely take a look at these books.
Mr transphenomen, yours sugestion is really helpful & I will definintely tries to follow it. But one issue may that some time I am unable to understand what the theorem it self means until I read its proof & from there reading assumptions and how actually the author proves his theorem goes a long in clarifying it.
 
I'm not familiar with the book you're using, but with some books, the proofs presented are so concise and streamlined that all of the motivation for them is gone, and it would take a genius to see the next step. In fact, there is an anecdote about Gauss, who reportedly took some pride in the obscurity of his proofs. He replied to a complaint that his proofs gave no clues for their motivation, that an architect removes the scaffolding after completing a building.

So by all means, read the proofs a line at a time and try to see where they are going, but don't be too discouraged if you can't.
 
i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
