Introduction to Calculus and Classical Analysis

by Omar Hijab

This text is intended for an honors calculus course or for an introduction to analysis. Involving rigorous analysis, computational dexterity, and a breadth of applications, it is ideal for undergraduate majors. The book contains many remarkable features: * complete avoidance of /epsilon-/delta arguments by instead using sequences * definition of the integral as the area under the graph, while area is defined for EVERY subset of the plane * complete avoidance of complex numbers * heavy emphasis on computational problems * applications from many parts of analysis, e.g. convex conjugates, Cantor set, continued fractions, Bessel functions, the zeta functions, and many more * 344 problems with solutions in the back of the book
