This is the second edition of an undergraduate one-variable analysis text. Apart from correcting errors and rewriting several sections, material has been added, notably in Chapter 1 and Chapter 4. A noteworthy addition is a re- variable computation of the radius of convergence of the Bernoulli series using the root test (Chapter 5). What follows is the preface from the ?rst edition. For undergraduate students, the transition from calculus to analysis is often disorienting and mysterious. What happened to the beautiful calculus formulas?Wheredid -? andopensetscomefrom?Itisnotuntillaterthatone integrates these seemingly distinct points of view. When teaching “advanced calculus”, I always had a di?cult time answering these questions.
