A newer edition of this book (ISBN 1530256747) is available. A first course in mathematical analysis. Covers the real number system, sequences and series, continuous functions, the derivative, the Riemann integral, sequences of functions, and metric spaces. Originally developed to teach Math 444 at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and later enhanced for Math 521 at University of Wisconsin-Madison. See
*Technically finished up to Section 4.2 (Mean Value Theorem)*
Okay, for a textbook, this wasn't that bad. No real review since it is just a textbook for college. It's not the best real analysis textbook (or so I've been told by my professor), but for one that's available for free online, it's not that bad. . . .
Anyway, it wasn't bad. The end. XD
4 stars!

I have chosen this textbook for the undergraduate real analysis course I am teaching, and I think it is wonderful. Some notes:
The text layout is simple, clear, and concise. The exercises vary in difficulty from testing a student's understanding of a definition to testing a student's understanding of difficult proofs. Until the later chapters, the author has chosen to do everything in R. This diminishes the impact of some important results (e.g. the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem), but overall makes concepts much simpler for students to understand.
