User:IssaRice/Reviews of undergraduate real analysis books
i'll slowly be filling this out.
the given years are for the first edition of the book, which gives a quick view of how old the material in the book is likely to be. but for the review, i am usually using the latest edition of the book.
for each book say: year of first edition; sequential vs continuous functions approach; whether real system is constructed (and if so how); R vs R^n; whether it treats general metric spaces; good pictures or not; level of mathematical maturity required (e.g. is it suitable for someone who hasn't done proofs at all? does it assume you're very good at going through math books already?); level of suitability for self-study; does it have solutions?;

Lebl, Basic Analysis: Introduction to Real Analysis
Bartle (he has three books)
oh god, there are so many. you start out thinking "how hard could it be to catalog and review all the undergrad level real analysis books?" and it really does turn out that there are SO MANY.
other books to add: Royden? Strichartz's The Way of Analysis? Kolmogorov & Fomin's Introduction to Real Analysis? Lang's Real and Functional Analysis? Ross's Elementary Analysis. Lang's Undergraduate Analysis. Hardy's A Course of Pure Mathematics?
