If you have taken some "intro to proofs" or "intro to abstract algebra" or "intro linear algebra" or any other such course where you've seen rigorous proofs, then Jay Cummings' "Real Analysis: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook" [0] is simply a phenomenal introduction to real analysis. It's a fast paced tour de force through rigorous analysis.
I actually wrote a longer comment, but I had to invoke the names of other authors. Better not. Either way, I love the book.

- nikofeyn 8y agoi found that book this year as well, and it is indeed very good. it's just fun to pick up and read. hopefully the author writes more books in this style.
- dorchadas 8y agoGot any recommendation for those other intro ones with rigorous proofs? Teaching maths and looking to move from a physics background to more pure maths one.
