Are you talking about Principles of Analysis or R&C A?

Lack of clarity? He just leaves a lot of things out. It allows the reader to explore the missing parts on his own, giving him a more thorough understanding of the topic. If you think “Hold up. How did he go from that step to that one?” and work it out by yourself [and understand everything correctly], it is very satisfying [and even enlightening].

Which textbooks does Ben recommend? I’ll take a look at Apostol’s. Perhaps he is more user-friendly.

Eh, I can understand Mathwonk’s concerns. I’ve seen that thread.
