Handbook of analysis and its foundations Handbook of Analysis and Its Foundations is a self contained and unified handbook on mathematical analysis and its foundations. Intended as a self study guide for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduatestudents in mathematics and a reference for more advanced mathematicians this highly readable book provides broader coverage than competing texts in the area. Handbook of Analysis and Its Foundations provides an introduction to a wide range of topics including: algebra; topology; normed spaces; integration theory; topological vector spaces; and differential equations. The author effectively demonstrates the relationships between these topics and includes a few chapters on set theory and logic to explain the lack of examples for classical pathological objects whose existence proofs are not constructive. More complete than any other book on the subject students will find this to be an invaluable handbook.
