METRIC SPACES AND RELATED ANALYSIS 

This book offers the comprehensive study of one of the foundational topics in Mathematics, known as Metric Spaces. The book delivers the concepts in an appropriate and concise manner, at the same time rich in illustrations and exercise problems. Special focus has been laid on important theorems like Baire’s Category theorem, Heine–Borel theorem, Ascoli–Arzela Theorem, etc, which play a crucial role in the study of metric spaces.

The additional chapter on Cofinal completeness, UC spaces and finite chainability makes the text unique of its kind. This helps the students in:

Readers will also find brief discussions on various subtleties of continuity like subcontinuity, upper semi-continuity, lower semi-continuity, etc. The interested readers will be motivated to explore the special classes of functions between metric spaces to further extent.

Consequently, the book becomes a complete package: it makes the foundational pillars strong and develops the interest of students to pursue research in metric spaces. The book is useful for third and fourth year undergraduate students and it is also helpful for graduate students and researchers.
