I think his main goal in his analysis texts was to save trees.

[@antoniomantovani3147]

Funny, but not true

[@SzMathWorld]

Relatable...deep 😄

[@survivalhorror5801]

Lol, it's a plus. His first book is my favorite math book. Though, I gotta say his second book "Complex and Real Analysis" was impossible for me to read. I found Folland's book easier to follow.

[@antoniomantovani3147]

The first book only the first part its good, some others chapters are there no one say why I don't like measure in folland too much stringhed If Italian it's not a problem Soardi - Analisi Matematica it's a better Rudin To me much easier to say that we want to build a 1.) measure that is an extension of the normal one to all subsets of R. 2.) its invariant for traslations 3.) it's countable subaddittive Folland says this bad Measure better Royden or Zygmund or even Rudin Real and Complex

[@Neilcourtwalker]

Maybe he stopped wasting paper, because he realised he couldn't construct the real numbers.

[@chriss6356]

He really enjoys math. I love how he smiles after he talks about something he finds interesting. I've seen so many people who are so jaded by math, this is a breath of fresh air.

[@2kchallengewith4video]

I love math as well

[@user-jz2yd9qj3y]

I got tired of math with five years of algebra where it started in fifth grade (In fifth grade I was in sixth grade, I skipped a grade,) then sixth grade (I decided to hold back a year after skipping to be with friends) then seventh, eighth, freshman year and junior year of high school. I have no clue why the school system I was in thought everybody needed so much algebra with a lot of it being repetitive. Why not just calculus after trig and trig as the freshman year course? In college it is the same thing with calc. First precalc, then single variable derivatives, followed by integrals and series, then multivariable, then derivatives and integrals of vectors, two classes, then partial and ordinary differential equations, two years. Its like three years of calc altogether.

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

Because the general public needs knowledge of algebra but don’t need knowledge of calculus or beyond. People are not interested in these subjects like you and I. But if the dumber part of the population doesn’t learn these basic math concepts, they make poor life choices due to low math literacy. I know many adults who cannot add fractions or take 20% of a bill. It’s sad.

[@31173x]

To learn Real Analysis from Rudin himself -the man who wrote the definitive text book- is something truly special.

I was over the moon to watch RUDIN as I own his book Mathematical Analysis since 1962! However, I was thrilled to see Prof D Patil (introducing RUDIN) who was my professor in Mumbai teaching Pure Mathematics in the late 50’s and early 60’s and who I knew personally. I wonder if it is possible to contact him and convey my gratefulness

[@vivelesport8197]

I bought "analyse complexe" of Rudin in french translated more than 20 years ago.... But each time i see the book in my library i tell myself: i will read Rudin analysis book next time.... Passed this time i forget all my resolution.. Again i ask myself hé when can i read it....?

[@survivalhorror5801]

Props to you for being able to read his second and third book. The leap in "mathematical maturity" from the first to the second book was too big for me to follow. His first book was awesome though.

[@monicamir]

Yes . His book on functional analysis has an exercise that you have to use a trick to solve. I had to correct the exercises of students and I could not solve it myself so i had to ask for help. It taught me a lesson. It's a pity I cannot remember the exercise and don't have the book. It happened in another life of mine. Things got different. I got married and I would have to use maths in my jobs, but out of the academia. He is a very nice guy.

[@DigitalLibrarian]

[@KarlisaJoyner]

This lecture is more historical the mathematical. Mathematicians don't pay much attention to history they name theories after someone and sometimes they have call something to do with it and sometimes they do not. They never go to the first time sources they usually read up on the second or third. You can't write about it unless you understand it.

He is a man of clarity ! This is reflected in his analysis textbook!

Thanks for share! :)

[@theproofessayist8441]

I'm grateful to hear from Walter Rudin in lecture form but I can't help but make a meme of this. Rudin: So I've been told there are a lot of non-mathematicians in the audience and that I'm only limited to writing one equation. *Writes down the wave differential equation* Layman Audience: :I *Proceeds to write down Fourier series expansion without defining/breaking down the symbols:* Layman Audience: :( This lecture is a good recap of real analysis for people already familiar with Fourier series but not good for a laypeople audience. In terms of presentations I've seen of mathematicians presenting to laypeople - Michael Atiyah's presentation for his attempted proof of the Riemann Hypothesis was better. He actually spelled out that "analytic" means the function can be represented as a power series which is an infinite long polynomial - now pray tell he could elaborate on what polynomial is but I saw a good attempt there. Pray tell I did skim through this video a bit on key portions so maybe upon hearing the whole thing I might not be judging Rudin's presentation skills fairly but these are my thoughts.

[@mkj1887]

Maybe not as a whole, but the discussion of the vibrating string is worth taking in by any layman, just in order to be aware of its importance.

Wonderful Book written by him, Principle Of Mathematical Analysis

[@Excalibur2112]

I'm going through the early chapters right now... Loving it... Helps you to recall and reinforce your understanding of fundamentals from Discrete Math (Abstract Algebra Set and Number Theory, Topology) and the Calculus we learned in sr. high school and sr. college Math... I'm noticing as you progress you combine Calculus with Linear Algebra and Calculus with Abstract Algebra (still the hardest branch by far just like most of my bright boomer gen. math teachers stated)...

[@Ibakecookiess]

+excalibur2112 Very weird to have taken Topology before Analysis...

[@analysis-sb4ri]

@Sumit Sah That book is written by a shallow mind for childish minds, it in itself trying to force the smug purism of Rudin's own biased logic and his own particular system of cultish tautologies as a farce for a severe lack of intimate understanding of mathematical analysis. I understand exactly what Richard Courant means now by indoctrination. I also understand now why mathematics majors tend to have lower I.Q.s than their theoretical physics peers, I never understood why at first, now I do.

[@analysis-sb4ri]

To be clear, for more analysis biased texts compared to Richard Courant's and Fritz John's two volumes, Terrence Tao's treatment (a genius with influential contributions) of analysis is far superior.
