Title: too dense, no example
Review: I am an engineering graduate student. however, I am not afraid of rigorous math at all and I had passed quite a few courses in graduate math before taking real analysis (with this as a text book). This book is too dense for a self study, even with a help of a professor you cannot grasp the idea until a few examples are given. The problems are difficult which is a plus, but you cannot solve them by reading 2 or 3 pages full of theorems and proofs with no intution or good explanation (even some proofs were left as an exercise!). this book is excellent if you know the subject and you want a book as a reference in your library which has everything in the shortest possible way with the proofs as short as possible, but never ever try to rely on this for a text book to learn the subject
