Publisher's Synopsis
This book is written for a course that serves as a gentle, transition from "cookbook" mathematics to the more rigorous material in post calculus courses. It acquaints students with the language and general methods of contemporary mathematics, within the context of "analysis". Using notation most commonly found in standard algebraic literature, it marks optional material that might be needed for reference or more advanced courses with an asterisk. Over 1200 problems are included and these range from drill exercises to problems that probe for deep understanding.
