Title: Worst text to use for intoductory analysis
Review: I agree with the reviewer below that wrote that Strichartz considers himself a philosopher--which he is not, by the way. This is an inferior text for a person who wants to learn analysis in a rigorous manner. This text is not only a pain in the @ss as a referemce, but it is also a confusing mess in which beginners at proofs (which is the target of this book) will be left utterly confused. Little pictures used as "proofs" and pondering the philosophical significance of some theorems does not make for a good text.Strichartz tries to come off as entertaining but fails miserably. His total detachment from reality is obvious in this pitifully drawn out text (oh the agony of his long, boring prose). This book is just another in the mass of mediocre introductory analysis texts.
