I am taking an introductory "graduate" analysis class and am comparing Analysis books that cover measure theory.
I have had an "advanced calculus" class that covered the standard topics. I am having difficulty deciding what I want to buy.
I am wondering how Royden's book compares to Stein and Shakarchi's. Which is better for a beginner? Which takes a more standard approach? Which is more motivated?
Also other suggestions are welcome.
