Handbook of Real Variables : With Applications to Differential Equations and Fourier Analysis (2004. XII, 201 p. w. figs. 24 cm)

The subject of real analysis dates to the mid-nineteenth century - the days of Riemann and Cauchy and Weierstrass. We learn of the completeness of the real number system, and how this property makes the real numbers the natural set of limit points for the rational numbers.
