Additional literature for the first-year analysis courses:
This list contains some Analysis textbooks that I can recommend to
interested students for various reasons and purposes. They are not
compulsory, and some of them cover much more material than our lectures. It
is a somewhat arbitrary, necessarily incomplete choice from an enormous bulk
of texts, with the purpose of giving some orientation:
T. W. Körner, A Companion to Analysis
, Graduate Studies in Mathematics 62, AMS 2004,
ISBN: 0-8218-3447-9
Ik like the text's style. The level of abstraction is slightly higher, and
more material is covered than in our lectures.
W.R. Wade, An Introduction to Analysis, Pearson
2004, ISBN 0-13-124683-6,
TUE-Bibl.: CKB 2004 WAD
For the 1D part, the book is comparable to Kosmala, the multidimensional
part is more comprehensive. Nice, but sometimes relatively difficult
exercises.
W. Rudin: Principles of mathematical
analysis, McGraw-Hill, 1976,
TUE-Bibl.: CLB 64 RUD
A classic, originating from the 1950s. The text is quite short due to its
elegant and concentrated style, but covers the essence.
A. van Rooij: Analyse
voor Beginners, Epsilon Uitgaven 6, 2003, ISBN
978-90-5041-005-2
TUE-Bibl.: CKB 2003 ROO
A text in Dutch, aimed to facilitate the step from highschool to university.
The explanations are very comprehensive, and lots of examples are given.
Lots of attention is given to teaching proof techniques.

Functies van meer veranderlijken,
Epsilon uitgaven 16, 1990, ISBN 978-90-5041-024-3

Continuation of "Analyse
voor Beginners".

For those who are not deterred by German language. A popular beginner's
analysis text at German universities. Comprehensive and with lots of
examples. The second part is going further and deeper than we do.
H. Amann, J. Escher: Analysis I-III,
Birkhäuser, 1998-2001, ISBN 3-7643-5976-5 (I). - 3-7643-6134-4 (II). -

Available in German and English. My personal favorite. For our
courses, Part I and some of Part II are of interest. The level of
abstraction is higher, and the theory is set up in a general framework from
the beginning. If one got used to this, this is quite enlightening. Warning:
There are not many simple, concrete examples, and the exercise problems are
often relatively difficult.

The book you know from the basis Calculus course. Differing from the other
books on this list, it is centered on calculations and elementary concepts,
and proofs play a minor role. You find a large number of worked out examples
and problems to train your calculation abilities.
There are lots of Calculus texts with these purposes, this certainly belongs
to the better ones.
Moreover, here you find a
literature list for a complete study of (pure) mathematics.
For us, the sections on Calculus
and (introductory)
Analysis are relevant. They also contain material that is freely
available on the net.
