Description
Mathematical Analysis: A Very Short Introduction
The development of mathematical analysis as a subject in its own right began to take shape in the 18th and 19th centuries, building on the foundations laid by Newton and Leibniz. Mathematicians such as Bolzano, Cauchy, and Weierstrass played key roles in establishing a rigorous basis for the discipline.
This book provides an overview of the evolution of mathematical analysis, its applications in mathematics and science, and its role in modelling real-world phenomena, from acoustics to fluid dynamics, and from biological systems to quantum theory.
