Real analysis is not actually that hard, you do however have to learn a bunch of notation, concepts and processes before you can grasp things. The people who struggled with it at my course (different country, similar content I suspect) were, entirely unsurprisingly, the people who didn't attend all the lectures.
- chongli 8y agoI don't think the difficulty is due to anything inherent to real analysis. I think it's due to the fact that most of the professors in the pure math department participate in the development of the math contests for CEMC [1]. Thus they tend to love creating extremely complicated and challenging homework problems. If you have time, click around on that page and check out some past Euclid (grade 12) math contests. Even if you've come through real analysis I bet some of the later problems in those Euclids will give you trouble.
