Summary

This text is intended for a second course in analysis, concentrating on differentiation and integration of functions of several variables. The material is presented as a unified course on vector spaces. The book successfully provides a firm mathematical foundation for further study and established an indispensable background for further studies in mathematics or related disciplines that involve heavy use of mathematical techniques and concepts. The book also provides exposure to a variety of other mathematical topics such as basic point-set topology, measure theory, differential geometry, and the theory of manifolds.
