Real analysis and applications : including fourier series and the calculus of variations

By: Frank MorganMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Rhode Island: American Mahematical Society, [c2005]Description: 197 pISBN: 978-1-4704-6501-8Subject(s): MathematicsLOC classification: QA300
Contents:
Part I: Real Numbers and Limits Part II: Topology Part III: Calculus Part IV: Fourier Series Part V: The Calculus of Variations
Summary: Real Analysis and Applications starts with a streamlined, but complete, approach to real analysis. It finishes with a wide variety of applications in Fourier series and the calculus of variations, including minimal surfaces, physics, economics, Riemannian geometry, and general relativity. The basic theory includes all the standard topics: limits of sequences, topology, compactness, the Cantor set and fractals, calculus with the Riemann integral, a chapter on the Lebesgue theory, sequences of functions, infinite series, and the exponential and Gamma functions. The applications conclude with a computation of the relativistic precession of Mercury's orbit, which Einstein called "convincing proof of the correctness of the theory [of General Relativity]."The text not only provides clear, logical proofs, but also shows the student how to derive them. The excellent exercises come with select solutions in the back. This is a text that makes it possible to do the full theory and significant applications in one semester.---Summary provided by publisher
