Includes the classic “epsilon-Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem”!
During their undergraduate degrees at Acadia University, Sunshine Dubois
and Colin Macdonald started working on their magnum opus, 101
Illustrated Analysis Bedtime Stories, a series of fairy tales told
in the language of mathematical analysis. Although only the first
chapter, “epsilon-Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad
Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem”, was completed, the authors hope that
other bored err enthralled real analysis
students may one day complete the work.
[2003-02-01] A new version 1.01 is available including a .pdf download which should make it easier for people using Microsoft Windows. The text itself has not changed.
Right here! Download the latest version of 101 Illustrated Analysis Bedtime Stories in a variety of formats:
To view .pdf files, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader or other software (such as xpdf).
On a GNU/Linux or other Unix machine, the command gv should view the
postscript files. To view postscript file on Microsoft Windows, you
may need to download first “Ghostscript” and then “GSview” from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.
Mac OS X users will have to consult with their local Mac guru.
You can also grab the LaTeX source code and figures here:
