Introduction to Analysis (Dover Books on Mathematics) Revised ed. Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Written for junior and senior undergraduates, this remarkably clear and accessible treatment covers set theory, the real number system, metric spaces, continuous functions, Riemann integration, multiple integrals, and more. Rigorous and carefully presented, the text assumes a year of calculus and features problems at the end of each chapter—1968 edition.
- Instruction in Basic Real Analysis: A solid foundation for direct entry into advanced work in such fields as complex analysis, differential equations, integration theory, and general topology.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Provides a thorough introduction to the principles of analysis, covering essential topics like open and closed sets, convergent sequence of points and functions, limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration.
- Practical Examples: The exercises include easy and more complex problems, interesting examples and counter-examples, and a number of more advanced results.
- Foundation for Advanced Studies: Serves as a vital stepping stone for students entering more advanced mathematics and related fields.
- Applicability to Modern Fields: Analysis remains a critical component in disciplines such as data science, engineering, and theoretical computing, aligning the book’s content with current academic and professional trends.
Introduction to Analysis lends itself to a one- or two-quarter or one-semester course at the undergraduate level. It grew out of a course given at Berkeley since 1960. Refinement through extensive classroom use and the author’s pedagogical experience and expertise make it an unusually accessible introductory text.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2007Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseFor $[...] you will get an unbelievably clear explanation of metric spaces, continuous functions, differentiation and Riemann integration. This text is a tremendous accompaniment to Baby Rudin (this book along with Apostol's Mathematical Analysis (buy it used) will take you over the hump in a real analysis class using Rudin). Also, Rosenlicht taught at a time when real analysis was presented using diagrams - a pedagogical tool that has fallen out of some favor. While not numerous, the diagrams presented are very helpful in describing the concept (e.g., connectivity, the nested set property...). I found these to be invaluable. The writing is clear and the proofs are straightforward. The extremely useful information in this book will set you back around 6 cents per page - do the math on some other texts and you will see what a bargain this book is.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2014Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI'm considering applying to PhD programs in economics and purchased this for review. I also want to build on what I learned in high school and as an undergrad at UCLA. I just got the book today, skimmed through it and would tend to agree with the other reviews. This book is very accessible. Like Dr. Strang's textbooks on calculus and linear algebra, it really does go the extra mile to explain concepts clearly. I suppose I'll found out for certain as I go through it, but it seems good so far.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book was written for Berkeley Math 104 course almost 50 years ago. That it is still occasionally used for it (as it was for the fall 2016 semester) suggests that it does get the job done, so to speak. I spoke to an old-timer member of the math faculty at Berkeley and they described it as "a good book, if a little too dry". There are things to like about this book. Its treatment of metric spaces so early and so extensively is refreshing. The material is presented clearly and if you're willing to take the time to push through it it's a well-crafted book. The exercises are a good mix of easy practice problems to mind-benders. I would not recommend trying to do all of the exercises in the book outside of the context of a course because they can be treacherously difficult. There are also some gaps in the coverage that might be due to its age and approach. For one, I don't think I saw a definition of closure, denseness, and a few other topics and the construction of the reals is very superficial. Still, the core ideas are communicated well. I'd probably recommend Pugh for something more complete and readable for an intro course but for the price I can't really complain about Rosenlicht.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2012Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI took intro to analysis my freshman year, and I bought this book to flesh out some of the stuff I was reading in Rudin: Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Third Edition
Honestly, no analysis course is complete without Rudin, but Rosenlicht's book serves as a good companion. It is also written in much clearer prose, which certainly offsets the panic you get when reading Rudin for the first time. :P
Relevant concepts are covered in the following order:
1. The real numbers and their properties
2. Metric spaces, basic topology, open and closed sets
3. Compactness (kind of a big deal, especially later on)
4. Sequences and series
5. Continuous functions
6. Differentiation
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseVery helpful on going over the basics through analysis. Online pdfs of this book can be found on the depths of the internet, but they are all very bad quality. The actual print of the book is nothing like that, and it reads well.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2010Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAs someone who has taken courses in analysis and topology, this book helped me very much. I somehow managed to make it through with excellent grades without ever truly understanding what was going on. Out of my own curiosity to truly learn and understand I picked up a copy of this book. I now feel as though I really understand the importance of things like compactness, completeness, and so on. This book also helped me understand the connection between analysis and topology. It is an excellent book for someone with passing familiarity of concepts. The only problem I found was that there were no solutions in the back of the book. So, this may not be good for self-study. However, it is still an interesting read.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2025Format: eTextbookVerified PurchaseDo not buy the E-book. I still own an original hard cover textbook from my college days (in the 1980's). I bought the E-book recently and started reading it - specifically, the Proposition (Schwarz inequality) in Section 1 of the Metric Spaces chapter (Chapter III). The proof made no sense. I looked at my original hard cover copy. The E-book had omitted the key equation that served as the key premise of the proof!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book contains a nice treatment of analysis, and is a steal for the price. It could perhaps use more exercises at the end of each chapter.
