Real Analysis: A Visual Approach from Field Axioms to Metric Spaces

By Paul L Dayao

While many real analysis texts prioritize brevity over clarity, this volume focuses on the student's conceptual journey.

The text begins with a rigorous construction of the Real Number System from the Field and Order Axioms, moving through the topology of R, sequences, and series. It provides a thorough treatment of continuity and differentiation, including the topological characterization of continuity. A key feature is the rigorous development of the Riemann Integral via Darboux sums, leading to the Lebesgue Criterion. The final chapters transition into Pointwise vs. Uniform Convergence and an introduction to Metric Spaces. The book uses a modern layout with color-coded theorem environments and visual proofs to aid learning.

It is designed as a core text for a one-semester Real Analysis course, specifically for students who find standard texts too opaque.
