Can anyone recommend any books for first year Analysis & Foundations which you found particularly brilliant.
Dont fancy spending a large sum of money on a book which isnt particularly helpful & hence never used.
Cheers

For analysis I wouldn't really think you need anything other than the workbooks and I don't have any really good suggestions for analysis 2 (unless you are up to the challenge for reading "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" by Rudin which does in fact cover everything in the first two years of analysis but from quite a "mature" point of view).

For foundations I think the recommended course book ("The Foundations of Mathematics" by Stewart and Tall) is good. Also worth checking out is "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" which covers all of the course in the introduction and should be owned by anyone on the degree anyway!

Cosmin will probably somehow recommend Proofs From the Book.

P.S. Come to a discussion group sometime!

Cool, cheers.
Ill check them out.
And do you have to be a member of the Maths Society to go to these discussion groups?
As I havent actually joined yet.
Im just invading your website still, lolz.

Not really, you can turn up even if you're not a member.

P.S. I wasn't really going to recommend Proofs from the Book as a 1st year analysis/foundations book. :P

The maths society has a copy of Burn's book on analysis. Since its not seeing much use at maths cafe, perhaps you could persuade Kevin to implement Tom's original idea of a lending system.

You guys really should give a longer notice on the discussion groups as opposed to putting it up the day before as I never actually notice until after its already happened. (Or maybe I just dont check this site frequently enough... lolz)

Well you should know by now that it's every Monday and Thursday at 7:30pm :p
I'm doing the one next Thursday but I still haven't picked a topic to be honest so I can't really advertise it yet :p

Edit: Guess what, I chose a topic.
