<p>Real analysis is usually nominally a junior level math major course, although students advanced in math (probably typical of math majors) can take it earlier. It is often considered a relatively difficult math course, especially as one’s first proof-heavy math course. Some math departments offer or require a freshman or sophomore level course that introduces proof techniques. If offered, honors freshman and sophomore level math courses can also give more practice with proof techniques.</p>
