Few beginning graduate students in mathematics and other quantitative subjects
possess the daunting breadth of mathematical knowledge expected of them when
they begin their studies. This book will offer students a broad outline of
essential mathematics and will help to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. The
author explains the basic points and a few key results of all the most important
undergraduate topics in mathematics, emphasizing the intuitions behind the
subject. The topics include linear algebra, vector calculus, differential and
analytical geometry, real analysis, point-set topology, probability, complex
analysis, set theory, algorithms, and more. An annotated bibliography offers a
guide to further reading and to more rigorous foundations.
