This introductory book contains a rich collection of exercises with comprehensive solutions, as well as worked examples in metric spaces. True-or-False type questions and open-ended questions, with detailed solutions, are highly effective in helping students gain a bird's eye view and master the subject and pitfalls better. The presentation is clear in nurturing the mathematical insight and mathematical maturity of the readers.In this book, the pictorialization or visualization of abstract situations into simple pictures is very often crucially conducive to the understanding of the materials. This serves to give an insightful view of the intricate problems, as well as a clue or a direction to formulate rigorous arguments.The learning outcomes include: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the basic features of mathematical analysis and point set topology (e.g., able to identify objects that are topological equivalent); Apply knowledge and skills acquired in mathematical analysis to analyze and handle novel situations in a critical way (e.g., able to determine whether a specific function is uniformly continuous); Think creatively and laterally to generate innovative examples and solutions to non-standard problems (e.g., able to construct counterexamples to inaccurate mathematical statements). Acquire sufficient background for further studies in Functional Analysis, Real Analysis, Differential Geometry, Complex Analysis, Algebraic Geometry, Probability Theory, Mathematical Physics, Economics, and others.Key Features?Includes many True or False questions. They are crucial to help the readers master the materials?Presents numerous worked examples and exercises with detailed solutions included. These are normally not featured in other text/reference books at this level?Provides plentiful of counterexamples for false statements which appear to be true?Pictorialization of the problems which will help the readers see the flow of the derivations, and gives the readers an insight on how to write a rigorous proof?Benefits the average undergraduate students using it a text or reference book, as well as course instructors and lecturers
