Nonsmooth Analysis is a relatively recent area of mathematical analysis. The literature about this subject consists mainly in research papers and books. The purpose of this book is to provide a handbook for undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics that introduce this interesting area in detail.
Zielgruppe
<p>This book is mainly directed to graduate students in mathematics. It may be used as handbook for a graduate course or a reference book in an undergraduate course of advanced analysis with the aim of introduce the nonsmooth analysis as a complement to differential calculus, showing how smooth tools can be employed in the lack of differentiability.</p>
