Examples and Theorems in Analysis by Peter Walker
This book adopts a practical, example-led approach to mathematical analysis that shows both the usefulness and limitations of the results. A number of applications show what the subject is about and what can be done with it; the applications in Fourier theory, distributions and asymptotics show how the results may be put to use.From the reviews:
"This book is a unique and very practical contribution to the teaching of calculus …The aim of this book is to try to give the subject concreteness and immediacy by giving the well-chosen examples equal status with the theorems. … this excellent book is written primarily for first- and second-year undergraduates in mathematics; but it will also be of interest to students of statistics, computer science and engineering … . We warmly recommend it as an entertaining and stimulating companion …" (Ferenc Móricz, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, 71, 2005)
"This book takes a unique and very practical approach to mathematical analysis. It makes the subject more accessible by giving the examples equal status with the theorems. … A number of applications show what the subject is about, and what can be done with it … . Exercises at the end of each chapter, of varying levels of difficulty, develop new ideas and present open problems." (L'enseignement mathématique, 50:1-2, 2004)
"The author presents a book on analysis in which theorems and examples are equally important. … It is a good textbook for students … to obtain a more complete picture of the material and to master basic methods of work in mathematical analysis." (EMS Newsletter, March, 2005)
