my professor based his entire course on this book and i found that it indeed helped me understand analysis 😀 !! i appreciate that the author chose to include details for readability instead of omitting them for style, because i came in with a bit of a weaker background and less confidence. it made the book approachable, even though some of the exercises were tough (good lord 🤣). my class skipped the discussion and project sections, and i will probably update after i go over them. my favorite chapter was chapter 6, on sequences and series of functions, but i also probably understood that one the least 💀 so it goes to show that this book actually made analysis interesting!

we mean as we manipulate these infinite objects."
