And I am so glad that book is out there as well. I have it: Measure, Integration & Real Analysis (Springer Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 282) by Sheldon Axler
The 3rd edition has 331 pages of text (I am not including anything after the last page of text in this estimate), and the 4th edition has 382 pages. That's a 15.4 percent increase. Then there's the font change, which is harder to estimate because of equations and theorem sections. A rough estimate is 40 lines per page for 3rd and 44 for 4th, so that's 10 percent. The product is 26.9 percent. A fair estimate is then 25%. Of course, beyond these numbers what is also worth mentioning is how much content has been reworked, and I see a lot of that.
Sir i have 3rd edition in hardcover formate. Should i buy 4th edition ? Its very expensive here and i can hardly afford. I am not following any course outline just want to self study. I dont study from PDF books.
While I love the 4th edition, the 3rd edition contains like 75 percent (I guessed 90 but a better estimate is 75, see comment elsewhere in here) of the 4th edition, so either way you will be covering a lot of Linear Algebra. I have used old editions multiple times by now and never felt like I was missing so much because I used an older edition. You will be fine either way given the expense issue you mention.
You should try to use Pdfs though, as you up the ladder into advanced mathematics, the price of books would be outrageous. Hardcovers will cost even more. If you can, a library subscription would be easier and cheaper.
I think the 3rd edition looks much prettier and neater. However, the 4th edition has more content, worth having both as PDF's, I would say.
More content is the biggest positive but, yeah, it doesn't hurt to have the PDFs.
3rd edition vs 4th edition: Spider-Man meme...
Hi, great video. Axler's measure theory book is also very popular!
And I am so glad that book is out there as well. I have it:
Measure, Integration & Real Analysis (Springer Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 282) by Sheldon Axler
I have the pdf of one of the versions, but really think it would be nice to have an actual book.
Great review! Looks like there's maybe 20-25% more content in the new edition! What would be your estimate?

Wouldnot downloading pdf and getting it print out and spiralbind be cheaper than 30 dollars ?
Of course, that can be done. Unfortunately for me, I am a book collector (or what the wives of the world would call 'crap collector').

@@mathematicaladventures thanks sir
I have taught out of an older H. Anton Linear Algebra book; I think you should be fine.
You should try to use Pdfs though, as you up the ladder into advanced mathematics, the price of books would be outrageous. Hardcovers will cost even more. If you can, a library subscription would be easier and cheaper.
@@Flappyjack-h4f ok thanks.
