Where Can I Find a Free, Readable Analysis II Textbook?

In summary, the conversation discusses recommendations for a second book in analysis. The person mentions disliking Baby Rudin and prefers Abbott's "Understanding Analysis" for its readability. Another person suggests Munkres' "Analysis on Manifolds" or Spivak's book for multivariable calculus. They also mention Bruckner, Bruckner, & Thomson's "Elementary Real Analysis" for a Baby Rudin level course. The Real Analysis book is mainly focused on measure theory and Lebesgue integration.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a good second book in analysis (ideally free/online, but doesn't have to be). My Analysis I class used Baby Rudin and did the first 6 chapters but I really disliked the book.

Any suggestions would be great! Fwiw, I found Abbott's "Understanding Analysis" really readable, whereas Rudin was terse/uninstructive.

Thanks,
Mariogs

For multivariable calculus, Munkres' "Analysis on Manifolds" is excellent. Spivak's book is also good but a bit terse, and it takes a similar approach to Munkres, just using less pages. So I'd go for Munkres.

Here is Bruckner, Bruckner, & Thomson:

I used the Elementary Real Analysis one for a Baby Rudin level course. It was pretty good, except some of the later material for differentiation in R^n. I haven't really used the Real Analysis one, but it is mainly on measure theory and Lebesgue integration, if that is what you consider a "second course."
