Section Description
The text for the class will be 'Mathematical Analysis' (second edition) by Tom Apostol. We will cover significant portions of chapters 1-4, 8. If time permits we'll go back and do some of 5. This material includes: basic properties of the real numbers, basic set theory, metric (Euclidean) topology in R^n, general metric space topology, sequences and convergence in R^n and metric spaces, continuity and its consequences, infinite series. Chapter 5 gives a rigorous intro to the theory of the derivative.
Section Expectation
Read the assignments, come to class, do the homework, take the exams. Come to office hours or otherwise contact me if you have questions.
Evaluation
The grade will be based on a weighted average of scores from homework, a midterm, and the final exam: 60% homework, 15% midterm, 25% final. From past experience, I expect that there will be between 5 and 7 large homework sets, which the students should begin as soon as they are passed out.
