Analysis Principles to Real and Complex and Functional

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the experience of reading Rudin's "Principles of Mathematical Analysis," highlighting the appeal of its terse style and the motivation it provides for self-driven learning, particularly through exercises like proving steps in the Dedekind cuts section. However, concerns arise regarding the later chapters, which are perceived as lacking essential content. The participant seeks advice on whether Rudin's subsequent books on Real, Complex, and Functional Analysis could adequately fill in the gaps left in chapters 9 to 11, or if alternative supplementary materials would be recommended. Additionally, a suggestion is made for Zorich's two-volume series, noted for its terseness, comprehensiveness, and high quality, as a potential resource for those who appreciate rigorous mathematical texts.

I'm reading Rudin's principles and so far I really like it. I find charm I'm his terseness, and I think having that motivation to do a lot of the stuff myself makes it pretty fun (like only using the outline of the Dedekind cuts section and prove all the steps myself). However, I have heard not so good things about his later chapters. I can stand having terse material, and even things left as exercises, but I don't like having things ommitted, as long as they are there I'm fine. But I know the stuff in later chapters is really important. Instead of using many other books which I might not have access to to supplement his later chapters (like 9 to 11), do you think I could get the "rest filled in" by going into his Real and Complex and Functional analysis book afterwards if it more sufficiently covers that? If not, I would appreciate if you guys knew what would be good supplementary material for these chapters? Thanks in advance.
