What is Real analysis?
'''Real analysis''' is an area of [[mathematics]] that deals with [[set]]s and [[sequence]]s of [[real number]]s, as well as [[Function (mathematics)|functions]] of one or more [[real variable]]s. It provides a rigorous logical foundation to [[calculus]], the study of continuous change.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-11|title=List of Calculus and Analysis Symbols|url=https://mathvault.ca/hub/higher-math/math-symbols/calculus-analysis-symbols/|access-date=2020-09-19|website=Math Vault|language=en-US}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Weisstein|first=Eric W.|title=Real Analysis|url=https://mathworld.wolfram.com/RealAnalysis.html|access-date=2020-09-19|website=mathworld.wolfram.com|language=en}}</ref> Many results in real analysis are [[special case]]s of results in complex analysis. == Related pages == * [[Derivative (mathematics)]] * [[Functional analysis]] == References == <references /> {{math-stub}} [[Category:Mathematical analysis]]
