Summary
For several centuries, analysis has been one of the most prestigious and important subjects in mathematics. The present book sets off by tracing the evolution of mathematical analysis, and then endeavours to understand the developments of main trends, problems, and conjectures. It features chapters on general topology, ‘classical’ integration and measure theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis and Lie groups, theory of functions and analytic geometry,differential and partial differenti…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
Will be a valuable source book for analysts interested in the history of the main ideas of analysis, as well as for others wanting to know about developments in other fields.
`What this book is full of, on almost every page, are quotations. They are well chosen, trenchant, and presented in their original language and an English translation. The effect is to eavesdrop on a long, continuing conversation, the conversation that is the life of mathematics as discussed by leading mathematicians. Here they are caught saying interesting, insightful, provocative things. They are by no means confined to definitions and statements oftheorems, they are allowed to tell you why they think something is important, charming, useful, how it was found, who is responsible.‘Jeremy Gray
