Editorial Review:
The third edition of this well known text continues to provide a solid foundation in mathematical analysis for undergraduate and first-year graduate students. The text begins with a discussion of the real number system as a complete ordered field. (Dedekind's construction is now treated in an appendix to Chapter I.) The topological background needed for the development of convergence, continuity, differentiation and integration is provided in Chapter 2. There is a new section on the gamma function, and many new and interesting exercises are included.
This text is part of the Walter Rudin Student Series in Advanced Mathematics.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Great Analysis Book of Rigor
I had to grow to like this book. After looking through it several times, I had realised that Rudin is not so bad. He has a lot of challenging exercises. I am still trying to find solutions to some today even after using this text in a course. I do not like chapters 10 and 11 too much though. I think Rudin should have done a better job.
Rating:  - Decent book, but dry
I'll preface this by saying I'm an engineer. I thought engineering books were dull, but this book is even worse. That said, it has all the important theorems and their proofs, but no fluff whatsoever. So if you want just the facts this book would be for you.
Rating:  - Fundamental
Having now got to measure and integration, the only comment that can be made about this text is that it is fundamental if you want to move to this level. There is no better analysis text.
Rating: - The Pinacle of Introductory Analysis
Walter Rudin's book barely needs introduction at this point. It has gained a reputation as the best text anywhere for an introduction to real analysis, and is the gold standard for many first year graduate courses in the subject. Rudin's work is a masterpiece of style and form, and his presentation is second to none. Care has been taken with every proof to make it as elegant as possible. The selection of problems typically ranges from those requiring a few minutes thought, to the fantastically ... Read More
Rating: - Solid and elegant
This book is well known for being terse. I will not refute this, but I will say that it is certainly not the tersest math book I have read (that honor might go to Samuel's algebraic number theory text). I am a graduate student in computer science, and I found this book to be enjoyable, well-structured, easy-to-read, and with excellent exercises. I probably would not attempt to use it for independent reading, though. The book develops calculus from the beginning, wasting no time, and giving almost ... Read More
