Introduction to Real Analysis

Rating:
Summary: Horrible, useless rife with errors
Review: While there may be books covering the subject of real analysis worth even less than this book, I am not aware of their existence. My professor even admits Trench's book is not very good and only used it because the two of them are friends. The bonds of fraternity are not so strong; however that he will ever use it again.

Of particular disinterest are chapters 5 and 6. Both are so full of mathematical errors that I suggest any student, unfortunate enough to use this book, supplement his or her reading by finding a text that manages to actually define what a gradient is.
