Life of Fred Real Analysis

Real analysis is one of the central building blocks for later mathematics. Because of that, real analysis is a mandatory part of the education of every math major in virtually every university. There are three central ideas in real analysis: the real numbers; functions; limits. You will learn more about these three topics than you ever learned in algebra or calculus. If this is your first Life f Fred book, you might be in for a little bit of a shock. Most real analysis textbooks look alike. They are all very businesslike: page after page of...theorems, definitions, and lines of equations. They "get the jog done" because they "cover the material." The student memorizes what a Cauchy sequence is and can recite the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, but will forget them ten days after the final exam. In contrast, Life of Fred: Real Analysis is fun. I, your author, can't help it. I refuse to write a stuffy boo. (This is my 54th unstuffy book.) Who wants a life without some giggles and dancing?
