I loathe the big Rudin, though, even for graduate level. I never managed to learn anything from it; I especially hated the way every proof refers to a million previous results as "Lemma 12.1.8" without mentioning what they actually are. As a result, reading anything required flipping through the whole book after every line just to know what he is talking about. | |
