This book provides a resolution to the "bridging-the-gap problem." The book not only presents the fundamental theorems of real analysis, but also shows the reader how to compose and produce the proofs of these theorems.
Daniel W. Cunningham is a Professor of Mathematics at SUNY Buffalo State, a campus of the State University of New York. He was born and raised in Southern California and holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also a member of the Association for Symbolic Logic, the American Mathematical Society, and the Mathematical Association of America.
Cunningham is the author of multiple books. Before arriving at Buffalo State, Professor Cunningham worked as a software engineer in the aerospace industry
