Title BASIC ANALYSIS I Department MATH Course Number 2006 Fall 203 Section Number 01 Primary Instructor Beale,James T Prerequisites Prerequisite: Mathematics 104.
Prerequisites
Math 104. You should have some experience writing mathematical proofs. We will emphasize careful writing of proofs in this course.
Synopsis of course content
This course is intended for students to learn mathematical analysis at a mature level. We study key concepts that lead to understanding of the basis for calculus and more advanced analysis. These ideas are often used in applications to other fields. For example, the definition of a limit using epsilon and delta is a central concept. See the catalog description above for a list of topics.
Textbooks
Not yet decided, but one possibility is Elements of Classical Analysis, by Marsden and Hoffman.
Assignments
Weekly problem sets will be a big part if the course, with emphasis on well written proofs.
Exams
There will probably be two tests and a final exam.
Grade to be based on
Problem sets, tests, and final exam.
