Mathematical Analysis I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783540874515)

This two-volume work by V.A.Zorich on Mathematical Analysis constitutes a thorough first course in real analysis. The text leads from the most elementary facts about real numbers to such advanced topics as differential forms on manifolds, asymptotic methods, Fourier, Laplace, and Legendre transforms, and elliptic functions. With masterful exposition, the author provides a smooth, gradual transition from each topic to the next, so that the slope never feels too steep for the reader. The clarity of the exposition is matched by a wealth of instructive exercises and fresh applications to areas seldom touched on in real analysis books, many of which are taken from physics and technology.
