A book to prepare for analysis?

389 Views Asked by At

I am taking Real Analysis in the Fall and the Professor recommended Spivak's Calculus to prepare for the course. Unfortunately, someone was faster than me and already borrowed the book from the library and I don't want to buy it. Does anyone have a similar book they recommend, covering advanced calculus as a preparation for real analysis? I already have Abbott's "Understanding Analysis" (he's a professor here, really nice guy, plays electric guitar in the faculty band).

I do recommend Bartle's "Introduction to Real Analysis". It's the book that I used and it was really helpful, since it explains everything in a good and clear way.

Other option is Apostol's "Calculus".
