This text was originally published by Prentice Hall in 2001. The second (and current) edition published in 2008 is essentially the same with misprints and other errors corrected. For a discussion of this text and the graduate analysis text by the same authors see the review by James Caragal in the UMAP Journal.

From the preface:

We have written this book in a leisurely style. This allows us to provide motivational discussions and historical perspective in a number of places. Even though the book is relatively large (in terms of number of pages), we can comfortably cover most of the main sections in a full-year course, including many of the interesting exercises.

Instructors teaching a short course have several options. They can base a course entirely on the unmarked material of Chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7. As time permits, they can add the early parts of Chapters 3 and 8 or parts of Chapters 11 and 12 and some of the enrichment material.
