They say that a good course is one that motivates the material dis cussed, building on basic concepts and ideas leading to abstract generality, one that presents the “big picture” rather than isolated theorems and results. And, they say that problems are the most important part of the learning process, because the problems force them to truly understand the defini tions, comb through the proofs and theorems, and think at length about the mathematics. Exercises that require basic application of the theorems highlight the power of the theorems. They also offer an opportunity to encourage stu dents to construct examples for themselves. Problems can also be used to explore counterexamples to conjectures. Supplying a counterexample helps the student gain insight into theorems, including an understanding of the necessity of the assumptions. Well-crafted problems review and expand on the material and give students a chance to participate in the mathematical process. Open-ended problems (“Discuss the validity of... ”) afford the stu dents the opportunity to adjust to researching and discovering mathematics for themselves. The purpose of this book is to complement the existing literature in in troductory real and functional analysis at the graduate level with a variety of conceptual problems, ranging from readily accessible to thought provoking, mixing the practical and the theoretical. Students can expect the solutions to be written in a direct language, one they can understand; always the most “natural” rather than the most elegant solution is presented. The book consists of twenty chapters: Chapters 1 through 10 contain the Problems, and Chapters 11 to 20 contain (selected) Solutions. Chapters IX
