Real Analysis is a branch of mathematics that explores the properties of real numbers, sequences, series, and functions. It forms the foundation for calculus, topology, and advanced mathematical theories.
🔢 Core Concepts
- Real Numbers: The set of real numbers (ℝ) includes all rational and irrational numbers. They are dense and uncountable, forming the basis for continuous mathematics.
- Limits and Continuity: Limits define the behavior of functions as they approach specific points, while continuity ensures no abrupt changes occur.
- Differentiation and Integration: These operations are central to calculus. Differentiation studies rates of change, and integration calculates accumulated quantities.
📚 Advanced Topics
- Measure Theory: A cornerstone of modern real analysis, it generalizes the concept of length, area, and volume.
