A Comprehensive Course in Analysis by Barry Simon



In the second half of 2015, the American Math Society will publish a five volume (total about 3200 pages) set of books that is a graduate analysis text with lots of additional bonus material. Included are hundreds of problems and copious notes which extend the text and provide historical background.  Efforts have been made to find simple and elegant proofs and to keeping the writing style clear. Clicking on the Part x hyperlinks will load tentative tables of contents (for some volumes, indices are not yet in place). If you are thinking of using these books as a primary course text in AY 2015-16, feel free to email Barry Simon for timing, contacts who have used them, etc.  A facebook page for these books can be found here.  

New This can now be ordered (A.M.S. member price: $280 for the set of all five volumes).  Official "expected" publication date is Dec. 21, 2015.
