Real analysis

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Real analysis is an area of mathematics that deals with sets and sequences of real numbers, as well as functions of one or more real variables. It provides a rigorous logical foundation to calculus, the study of continuous change.[1]

As one of the main branches of mathematical analysis, it can be seen as the real-number counterpart of complex analysis, which deals with complex numbers.[2] Many results in real analysis are special cases of results in complex analysis.
