Entry / bridge route

Calculus

Use limits, derivatives, integrals and series; distinguish computation from justification.

Calculus, Volume 1 — Gilbert Strang and Edwin 'Jed' Herman. Direct open PDF

Compare resources in this subject

Can skip if… / selective review

You can solve representative differentiation, integration and convergence exercises and explain the hypotheses used.

Proofs & Mathematical Writing

Read quantified statements; write direct, contrapositive, contradiction and induction arguments.

Book of Proof — Richard Hammack. Direct open PDF

Can skip if… / selective review

You can explain the quantifiers in a statement and write these forms of proof without relying on a worked solution.

Real Analysis

Prove convergence, continuity, compactness and differentiation/integration results.

Basic Analysis I — Jiří Lebl. Direct open PDF

Can skip if… / selective review

You can work with epsilon arguments and prove standard compactness and convergence results, not just calculate limits.

Research reading: additional tools

Choose according to the particular text, not as an obligation to complete every foundation again.
