Location and Time

MWF 10:20-11:10 in A320 Wells Hall.

Content

This course is a rigorous introduction to analysis on the real line, and covers sequences, limits, continuity, convergence of functions, and derivatives. It will focus on building skills for reading and writing proofs.

Textbook

Ross, Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus, Second Edition, Springer 2013. This textbook is available for free through MSU libraries.

Prerequisites

(MTH 133 or MTH 153H or LB 119) and (MTH 299 or MTH 317H or approval of department).


Homework

Homework will be assigned weekly and due at the beginning of Friday’s lecture. There will be thirteen homeworks. (There will not be a homework due the week of Thanksgiving.) No late homework will be accepted. However, your lowest homework score will be dropped when computing your grade.

Typically three homework problems will be graded carefully, and some points will be given for completeness of the rest of the assignment. Full homework solutions will be posted online promptly.

You are encouraged to work in groups on your homework; this is generally beneficial to your understanding and helps you learn how to communicate clearly about mathematics. However, you must write up all solutions yourself. You should cite any other sources other than lecture and the textbook (another book, a blog about analysis, etc) you use.

Quizzes

There will be two short in-class quizzes at the beginning of lecture on Monday, September 16 and Monday, October 28. There will not be any make-up quizzes except in extreme and documented circumstances.

Exams

There will be two in-class midterms on Monday, October 7 and Monday, November 18. There will also be a final exam Friday, December 13, 7:45-9:45 am. There will not be any make-up exams except in extreme and documented circumstances. Note that department policy forbids early final exams for any reason.

Grading

Grades will be computed as follows:

A reasonable curve will be applied to the composite numerical scores. In past iterations of this class, typically about half of the class has received a grade of 3.5 or above.

Schedule

We will cover Sections 1-5, 7-12, 14-15, 17-20, 23-25, and 28-30 of Ross. Precise reading for each week will be provided as the course goes on. You will get the most out of lecture if you do the reading before coming to class.

No lecture notes to be posted for the week Sep 23-27 since I almost follow the textbook (since the definitions of limsup and liminf 10.6 till the end of Section 11).
