This classic work, written in a clear and interesting style, with many exercises, offers a thorough and reliable treatment of an important branch of higher analysis. It lends itself well to use in course work; however, because of its consistent clear illustrations of theoretical difficulties, the book is also ideal for self-study.
Since all higher analysis depends on the theory of numbers, Professor Knopp (formerly Professor of Mathematics, University of Tübingen) begins with an introduction to the theory of real numbers, an indispensable foundation for what is to come. This introduction is followed by an extensive account of the theory of sequences and the actual theory of infinite series. The latter is covered in two stages: (1) the classical theory (2) later developments of the 19th century.
Carefully selected exercises have been included throughout, emphasizing applications of the theory, rather than purely theoretical considerations.
Aimed at students already acquainted with the elements of differential and integral calculus, this work grew out of the author's lectures and course work at the universities of Berlin and Königsberg. This pedagogical background helped him achieve a work of utmost clarity and precision — one that belongs in the library of every serious mathematician or student of higher analysis.

    This is a classic book written by Knopp who shows a complete mastery of the subject. The construction of real numbers is unique and he uses nests to define them. If ever you wanted information on series then this book is a bible on that topic. Any student of mathematics must have this in his collection. The translator has done an excellent job.
    Dr. Knopp also has a series of books on the theory of complex functions and are highly recommended.

    May not be the most modern text on the subject, but it is written clearly and carefully explains the subject. The introduction chapter is a very useful refresher for non- mathematicians. Overall it provides a good treatment of subject, recommended for self study provided you have a reasonable knowledge of calculus and complex numbers (for the later chapters.

    4.0 out of 5 stars How to tell if you are a "formalist" --
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2002
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Anything to do with "infinity" is fascinating. Much of the history of mathematics has been a duel between those who see "infinity" as a delusion and impediment to progress, and those who see it as the greatest tool in the mathematician's toolbox. Infinite series, which may be loosely defined as sums of an infinite number of terms (numbers), take on some of this fascination. Although this book will appeal mainly to the professional mathematician, there is enough historical and elementary material to profit many college students- and possibly even some high school students.
    Professional mathematician will find this book useful for filling in gaps left by topics not covered in traditional courses. An example is the detailed discussion of Euler's summation formula, which goes far beyond the simplified form usually encountered in textbooks. Another fascinating topic covered is divergent series, and methods by which meaningful sums can be assigned to these. There is something counterintuitive -- and, frankly, mind-boggling -- about many of these results.

    Mathematicians can be put into several categories: 1) applied-mathematicians/computer-scientists/engineers concerned with solving practical problems, 2) those concerned with pedagogy and the history of mathematics, 3) epistemology and rigorous proofs, and 4) formalists. The fourth category, formalists, is difficult to define, but may be described as those that emphasize obtaining new results through formal (technical) manipulations, without undue concern regarding the meaning of the intermediate steps. The greatest exponents of this art were Euler and Ramanujan, though Fourier, Dirac and Heaviside are also solid members of this camp.
    I take this digression because I feel that this book mainly appeals to the fourth type of mathematician. Although there are some general results in the theory of infinite series, any competent mathematicians can, in a few minutes, write a dozen infinite series which defy summation. As an example, the series associated with the Riemann zeta function of EVEN arguments were first summed by Euler. The sums arising from ODD arguments have defied summation to this day. Why this should be so is intriguing, but unknown. Incidentally, Euler's method of summation will make a "rigorists" hair stand upon ends. But he got the job done!

    This is a very fantastic book on infinite series. The coverage of subjects in the book is very comprehensive and goes way beyond a simple introduction to infinite series. Reading this book though, I would recommend teaching yourself Real/Complex Analysis along with this as it will give you greater insights. Overall though I am pleased with this book, and the price cannot be beat.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Kindle edition flawed
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    The Kindle edition is a flawed copy of the paper edition. I only have two examples, but being a math text where every symbol counts, that's enough for me to abandon the electronic version in favor of the paper version.

    Example 1: Page 6 in the print book compares sets named M and N, but on the Kindle these are both referred to as M.
    Example 2: Reference numbers set aside in the margin of the paper edition get interspersed throughout the Kindle edition. This is confusing as they sometimes come in the middle of an ordered list.

    I encountered both problems very early, so there may be many more problems. The text is already a challenge for me, so I don't need additional, unnecessary problems to sort out. I do not recommend the Kindle version.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version is full of errors
    Reviewed in Spain on December 9, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I'm working through the kindle version of this text which is a well written undergraduate level treatment of sequences and have rapidly encountered numerous errors, such as less than signs instead of greater than signs etc. Whilst in some texts these could be overlooked, in an analytical text such as this they represent a significant problem.

    Also, despite having run to 4 editions, there are no solutions for any exercises in the text. I have little patience for maths texts that don't offer worked solutions (or in this case any solutions at all).

    Nevertheless I'm continuing to use it as it seems to be a fairly comprehensive coverage of sequences. Would probably be better to stick with the print-version until the Kindle version is improved though.
