The first author, [[Elias M. Stein]], iswas a [[mathematician]] who has made significant research contributions to the field of [[mathematical analysis]]. Before 2000 he had authored or co-authored several influential advanced textbooks on analysis.<ref name=oconnor>{{cite web |first1=J. J. |last1=O'Connor|first2=E.

Beginning in the spring of 2000, Stein taught a sequence of four intensive undergraduate courses in analysis at [[Princeton University]], where he was a mathematics professor. At the same time he collaborated with Rami Shakarchi, then a graduate student in Princeton's math department studying under [[Charles Fefferman]], to turn each of the courses into a textbook. Stein taught [[Fourier analysis]] in that first semester, and by the fall of 2000 the first manuscript was nearly finished. That fall Stein taught the course in [[complex analysis]] while he and Shakarchi worked on the corresponding manuscript. Paul Hagelstein, then a [[postdoctoral scholar]] in the Princeton math department, was a teaching assistant for this course. In spring 2001, when Stein moved on to the [[real analysis]] course, Hagelstein started the sequence anew, beginning with the Fourier analysis course. Hagelstein and his students used Stein and Shakarchi's drafts as texts, and they made suggestions to the authors as they prepared the manuscripts for publication.<ref name=fefferman>{{cite news |first1=Charles |last1=Fefferman |authorlink1=Charles Fefferman |first2=Robert |last2=Fefferman |authorlink2=Robert Fefferman |first3=Paul |last3=Hagelstein |first4=Nataša |last4=Pavlović |first5=Lillian |last5=Pierce|author5-link=Lillian Pierce |title=Princeton Lectures in Analysis by Elias M.
