I learned analysis from a self guided inquiry based learning packet: http://jiblm.org//downloads/jiblmjournal/V090212S/V090212S.p...

And the reals were introduced to me by the completeness axiom phrased like this: "If M is a point set and there is a point to the right of every point of M, then there is either a right-most point of M or a first point to the right of M."
