5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" book if you love real analysis., August 19, 2005
By 
Luis F. Moreno (Vestal, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Primer of Real Functions (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks) (Hardcover)
I've always enjoyed Ralph Boas' mathematical writing style. He is at his best in this small book. He covers topics in introductory and intermediate real analysis of one variable, but with an enthusiasm that pulls you along, like a good novel. This does not mean, however, that Boas skimps on theory and proof. This is an excellent resource for undergraduate/graduate study. The "Notes" section is a cornucopia of references to advanced topics by leaders in the field. And every exercise is answered, or at least addressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great on Cantor's middle third set, September 16, 2010
By 
Tim Jones (naples, fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Primer of Real Functions (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks) (Hardcover)
Boas adds humor and curious anecdotes to his presentation of real functions. His book includes Lebesque integration and gives an excellent presentation of the Cantor set.
