Introduction to Real Analysis

This is a collection of lecture notes I've used several times in the two-semester senior/graduate-level real analysis course at the University of Louisville. They are an ongoing project and are often updated. They are here for the use of anyone interested in such material. In return, I only ask that you tell me of mistakes, make suggestions for improvement and, when sharing with others, please give me credit or blame.
