This text is an essentially self-contained treatment of material that is normally
found in a first year graduate course in real analysis. Although the presentation is
based on a modern treatment of measure and integration, it has not lost sight of
the fact that the theory of functions of one real variable is the core of the subject.
It is assumed that the student has had a solid course in Advanced Calculus and has
been exposed to rigorous ", arguments. Although the book’s primary purpose is
to serve as a graduate text, we hope that it will also serve as useful reference for
the more experienced mathematician.
