From the Back Cover
This book provides a rigorous introduction to the techniques and results of real analysis, metric spaces and multivariate differentiation, suitable for undergraduate courses.

Starting from the very foundations of analysis, it offers a complete first course in real analysis, including topics rarely found in such detail in an undergraduate textbook such as the construction of non-analytic smooth functions, applications of the Euler-Maclaurin formula to estimates, and fractal geometry. Drawing on the author's extensive teaching and research experience, the exposition is guided by carefully chosen examples and counter-examples, with the emphasis placed on the key ideas underlying the theory. Much of the content is informed by its applicability: Fourier analysis is developed to the point where it can be rigorously applied to partial differential equations or computation, and the theory of metric spaces includes applications to ordinary differential equations and fractals.

Michael Field has held appointments in the UK (Warwick University and Imperial College London), Australia (Sydney University) and the US (the University of Houston and Rice University) and has taught a wide range of courses at undergraduate and graduate level, including real analysis, partial differential equations, dynamical systems, differential manifolds, Lie groups, complex manifolds and sheaf cohomology. His publications in the areas of equivariant dynamical systems and network dynamics include nine books and research monographs as well as many research articles. His computer graphic art work, based on symmetric dynamics, has been widely exhibited and is on display at a number of universities around the world.
