Self Study Real Analysis from this series of books by Jacob & Evans?

439 Views Asked by At

Once again a question about self-studying real analysis by an amateur graces these forums, but I am fairly certain these authors have not been mentioned here so far and I would appreciate your thoughts.

I am currently torn between the following two paths for learning analysis:

[More Mainstream books]

  • Introduction to Real Analysis (by Robert Bartle)
  • Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach (by Hubbard&Hubbard)

Or

[The series of books by Jacob & Evans]

The latter books by Jacob & Evans are the first two in a series of seven containing completely solved exercises. Reviews and previews are hard to come by, I only managed to find these

Does anyone have any experience with these books? If not, what do you think based on the previews/reviews? Or should I just stick to the conventional Bartle/Hubbard path? Or any other suggestions for someone who has self-studied the following books so far :

Calculus (Stewart),Vector Calculus (Colley, skipped many proofs)
Discrete mathematics (by Epp),Complex Analysis (Zill & Shanahan, did most proofs)

There were some other ones as well...but too long ago now

Thanks.

P.S. I found some additional chapter previews here: https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/9625#t=suppl
