Andrew D. Hwang<p>"An Invitation to Real Analysis" has gone to press, and is available for pre-order on August 21. The book was substantially shaped by my own experiences, in person and at math.stackexchange, clarifying common confusions and conceptual hurdles. If you teach real analysis in English at levels from "introduction to proofs for math undergraduates" to "rigorous course for quantitative fields" (say), or are self-studying, I am very grateful for your consideration.</p><p><a href="https://www.routledge.com/9781032989136" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">routledge.com/9781032989136</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>The description on the publisher's page was not written by me.
