This book provides an introduction to real analysis, a fundamental topic that is an essential requirement in the study of mathematics. It deals with the concepts of infinity and limits, which are the cornerstones in the development of calculus.

Beginning with some basic proof techniques and the notions of sets and functions, the book rigorously constructs the real numbers and their related structures from the natural numbers. During this construction, the readers will encounter the notions of infinity, limits, real sequences, and real series. These concepts are then formalised and focused on as stand-alone objects. Finally, they are expanded to limits, sequences, and series of more general objects such as real-valued functions. Once the fundamental tools of the trade have been established, the readers are led into the classical study of calculus (continuity, differentiation, and Riemann integration) from first principles. The book concludes with an introduction to the studyof measures and how one can construct the Lebesgue integral as an extension of the Riemann integral.

This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students in mathematics. As its title suggests, it covers a large amount of material, which can be taught in around three semesters. Many remarks and examples help to motivate and provide intuition for the abstract theoretical concepts discussed. In addition, more than 600 exercises are included in the book, some of which will lead the readers to more advanced topics and could be suitable for independent study projects. Since the book is fully self-contained, it is also ideal for self-study.

Syafiq Johar graduated with a BSc and an MSc in Pure Mathematics from Imperial College London before completing his DPhil at the University of Oxford, where he studied the singularity formation of the Ricci flow. During his time at Oxford, he was a stipendiary lecturer at St Edmund Hall and Christ Church, which honed his passion for teaching mathematics. After spending a year at Princeton University as a Fleet Fellow, he returned to Malaysia to take up an appointment at the National University of Malaysia.
