101 Illustrated Analysis Bedtime Stories

Includes the classic “epsilon-Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem”!

What the heck...

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.
