[–]jpstevans 75 points76 points ago

As an intro to real analysis veteran, I can tell you that with that book it's not far off from the truth.

[–]ProveItInRn 19 points20 points ago

Agreed. Just got through that nightmare last year and I highly suggest OP should go pick up ANY other analysis book than Wade as a backup. And do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Counterexamples in Analysis, it will save you hours of wasted effort in those "prove or disprove" questions Analysis teachers love to put on homework.

[–]tigerrr925[S] 7 points8 points ago

Thanks for the tips. I already have a study group (2 classes in) and we have like, three other books to reference. It will be an interesting semester for sure.

[–]lightermann 0 points1 point ago

There's a list of errors in this book online. It's quite long and worth looking at. If you ever feel like something's wrong...it probably is cause his is a terrible book.

[–]senior_migz 1 point2 points ago

I once bought a text for a vector analysis course. Receipt read "Vector Anal".

[–]sayongja 1 point2 points ago

I recommend in particular Pugh's Real Mathematical Analysis. We used it through our year-long analysis class. Wade is a good supplement if you want to get any practice at all doing actual computations, though (not a single example or exercise, with actual numbers, of multiple integrals in the whole of that book).

[–]freecandy_van 2 points3 points ago

Agreed. Only math class I did not get an A in. One whole semester just to prove the basis for calculus. We weren't even given a book (Putnam method I believe?). We were given a 4 page set of theorems/corollaries and took turns proving them all in class. They all built on each other.

[–]1-800-redditorb 1 point2 points ago

It's called the Moore method. And yes, I agree real analysis is hard.

[–]freecandy_van 1 point2 points ago

Moore method that's right! Thanks!

[–]neogetz 0 points1 point ago

oh god the memories. I totally suck at analysis. I just cant seem to remember all the axioms.

[–]beenman500 0 points1 point ago

there are only 5...

edit: I think

[–]neogetz 0 points1 point ago

I know there aren't many but my course made you refer to them just by number and i could never remember the order, they didn't let you just write them at the top and refer to them by the numbers you gave them. That and i'd mess things up being dyslexic and rearranging all the letters.

[–]chickendodo 2 points3 points ago

Real analysis is the reason I stopped studying math. Fuck. That.

[–]rocketman4 34 points35 points ago

Pearson - "Hey girl, you down?"

Girl - "I don't know. I've never tried it."

Pearson - "Don't worry, I wrote the book on it."

EDIT: And yes, I know Pearson is the publisher, not the writer.

[–]is_sleeping 15 points16 points ago

Fuck you, Pearson, and your $200 lightly revised textbooks.

Edit: And yes, I know you aren't Pearson, the publisher, but let's just pretend for my own gratisfaction.

[–]Overeacting 4 points5 points ago

abebooks.com

International versions of 98% of books are identical. I'm sure they'll figure out to change all the example problems between the two versions eventually, but until then, enjoy $15 text books.

[–]is_sleeping 1 point2 points ago

If everyone ordered on abebooks.com, there would be no used books available for abebooks.com. I know, I know, you can rent books too, but let's pretend you can't just so that I can justify dedicating another big fuck you to Pearson for robbing naïve, poor students.

[–]Bogey_Kingston 89 points90 points ago

If it's an early class, you might find it difficult to come on time.

[–]needleman16 78 points79 points ago

[–]SchpartyOn 26 points27 points ago

[–]fizzax 20 points21 points ago

The professor goes pretty deep into asymptotes.

[–]zephyrnovae 4 points5 points ago

I took that course last semester! It was a pretty crappy course...especially in the end

[–]GeorgeCauldron 35 points36 points ago

Intro to anal: just the tip.

[–]pelmen74 4 points5 points ago

[–]derefnull 2 points3 points ago

I'm in a class called Introduction to Numerical Analysis. How do you shorten it? NumAnal.

[–]neogetz 5 points6 points ago

at least it doesnt hurt

[–]bradkraut 3 points4 points ago

Try Analysis and Functions. Anal Func

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I refer to all of my Anal classes that way. Num Anal, Real Anal, Complex Anal, Algo Anal. It's ALL good!

[–]AnalSexIsGoodForYou 2 points3 points ago

youll learn that its good for you

[–]Apostolate 3 points4 points ago

I'm pretty sure if you pass the class, it will be easy on your ass.

[–]Jeroknite 1 point2 points ago

Easy in, more like.

[–]Vhorbis 1 point2 points ago

I was told by a friend that this book teaches you the only way that 1+1=0.

[–]buster2Xk 3 points4 points ago

let a = b

2a = a+b

2a2 = (a+b)2

ei * π+1 = 0

Um... I think I did it wrong. But there is an equation that "proves" any number equals any other number. It relies on a fallacy though in that a will equal b and you divide by a-b, which will be zero so it's not doable.

[–]alextk 1 point2 points ago

[–]iShavedMyFaceForThis 1 point2 points ago

Count your blessings. My anal course is using some fancy-schmancy textbook that starts out with a bunch of infinite series.

Haven't even introduced the concept of a field, or the the reals, etc. Nope. Just jump straight to logarithms and fucking Isaac Newton.

OP, let's swap analysis courses.

[–]derefnull 1 point2 points ago

Haven't even introduced the concept of ... or the the reals

If you go into an analysis course without understanding what the reals are, you're going to have a bad time.

[–]tigerrr925[S] 0 points1 point ago

Actually I took modern algebra last semester, so I have a general understanding of fields and the reals, but I'm still terrified for this course. Especially since my teacher has been out of the country for 2 years, and has been a total space-case all week. I'll gladly swap analysis courses with you!

[–]iShavedMyFaceForThis 1 point2 points ago

We should do our own analysis course, out of Rudin. The right way.

[–]sidoh 0 points1 point ago

Don't be. Analysis is actually quite a lot of fun. :)

[–]miaomiao 1 point2 points ago

You do pure math by any chance? Still remember the class when I was an undergrad. (Pleasant and painful, just like anal. )

[–]tigerrr925[S] 2 points3 points ago

Kind of? I'm a math major with a focus in advanced study, so half my classes are theory, half are applied. This is one of the theory classes, I think. I actually don't know that much about anything yet, I should probably get on that...

[–]miaomiao 1 point2 points ago

Nice. I did my math major entirely on theory, that was a mistake. Only thing that saved my ass were the physics classes I took, so now I´m doing PhD in photonics and life is good.

tl;dr: If math doesn´t work out, do physics. Also, don´t compete with the Russians.

LOL! This reminds me of a story:

We had this online friend named Ana. Well, Ana and a few of us were all chatting when Ana made some slightly sexual and witty quip at one of the guys on the chat.

Another girl in on the conversation says, " LOL! I love Ana!"

after a brief pause one of the guys says, "Wait, did she just admit to loving Ana!?"

.. Needless to say the conversation went on and on and on...

From that point on any time Ana came online she was always Ana!

"Hello Ana!"

"We Miss Ana!"

Needless to say after about a week of this Ana never returned... and I will never be able to see the name Ana without the exclamation point it so righteously deserves!

[–]tehgreyghost 0 points1 point ago

Yeah it can be painful at first trying to just cram all night. Eventually though you get loosened up and the anxiety leaves you. You lay back and enjoy it, feeling pleasant and relaxed. Then the oral exam happens and you tense up. Then it hurts a new. Just keep trying and eventually you will enjoy the math...

Pearson has some of the worst textbooks I've ever used at a college level, and of course for the privilege of this they charge more than other publishers I am familiar with, too.

Pearson also hard-sells custom editions to colleges, to lock students into buying them from the campus bookstore which holds a monopoly on the edition custom printed for that campus. I even had to sit through a speech by a sales rep who went around our campus speaking during class sessions to convince us the point was to save us money instead of to deny us options and inflate prices. The smug smile on that awful person... ugh...

tl;dr- fuck Pearson, seriously.

[–]thebriton 0 points1 point ago

[–]somestrangewashers -1 points0 points ago

Pearson fucking sucks balls. I had an intro spanish book made by them that taught 100-2 million, but didn't think it necessary to teach 0-100. Like that made any sense. Everyone in my class failed the test and the professor wondered why...
