This book provides a structured and intuitive introduction to Elementary Real Analysis, designed in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2022 syllabus. The book covers fundamental topics- the real number system, sequences and series. Special emphasis is placed on conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills to promote mathematical thinking. Some of the Key Features are :

 

  • Conceptual and Intuitive Learning: Combines rigorous mathematical proofs with clear and intuitive explanations, enabling students to develop both a strong theoretical foundation and practical understanding of the subject.
  • Aligned with NEP 2022: The content is designed in accordance with the NEP 2022 curriculum and comprehensively covers the syllabus of Elementary Real Analysis for B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics, Elements of Real Analysis offered as a Generic Elective (GE) and the Discipline Specific Course (DSC) for students of B.A. (Programme) and B.Sc. (Physical Sciences).
  • Learner-Centric Organization: Structured into concise chapters of approximately 16–17 pages each devoted to a single topic. This modular approach enhances readability, facilitates focused learning and builds students' confidence as they progress through the material.
  • Assorted Solved Examples: Every chapter includes a dedicated "Assorted Solved Examples" section featuring a diverse collection of fully worked-out problems that reinforce concepts and strengthen problem-solving skills.
  • Comprehensive Practice Exercises: Each chapter offers a rich selection of conceptual, computational, and proof-based questions along with objective-type problems, providing students with ample practice and supporting a variety of assessment methods.
