This unique book gives a manageable introduction to functional analysis and a thorough treatment of real analysis. Authored as a graduate textbook in analysis, the book could be used for a course in real analysis based on the Lebesgue theory of integration and/or a course on functional analysis. The author uses basic topological ideas to unify the presentation of the main ideas in analysis. He... Read more
