Title: Surely there's better Analysis books out there
Review: I have used this book for two semesters of analysis and it has been terrible. The proofs don't always make sense. I'll get to the end of a proof and have no idea how the proof actually connects to the theorem. The problems are significantly more difficult than the examples provided. I don't understand why textbooks sometimes make such a big jump in difficulty from examples to the end-of-section problems, because I find it incredibly irritating and difficult to learn. My professor has basically quit using the book, but won't assign a new textbook because he doesn't want us to have to buy a new textbook. Like another reviewer pointed out, it's binding is really bad. Mine is falling apart more than any other textbook I have ever used and I barely open this book. I do not recommend this book. Surely there are better analysis books out there. My professor says Bartle or Rudin would be good options.
