I'm beginning my analysis class next semester and was wondering what should I be very familiar with. For example, in the first page of "Principles of mathematical anylysis" by Walter Rudin, he starts by saying "we assume familiarity with the rational numbers". I mean I'm somewhat familiar with them but only did a discrete math class so we stopped at integers. So, what would be the things I should do to be really prepared for an introduction to analysis class?



Thank you!

    Try working through the first chapter on your own. That will alert you to expected prerequisite knowledge.
