Thus there are very many important inequalities.This book is not intended to be a compendium of these; instead， it provides an introduction to a selection of inequalities， not including any of those mentioned above. The inequalities that we consider have a common theme; they relate to problems in real analysis， and more particularly to problems in real analysis. Incidentally， they include many of the inequalities considered in the fascinating and ground-breaking book Inequalities，by Hardy， Littlewood and Polya， originally published in 1934.
