Synopsis of course content
This course will cover many of the topics you studied in your calculus courses (e.g., differentiation, integration, convergence), but from a rigorous point of view. However, few new facts will be presented; the goal is instead to develop the theory underlying calculus.
Textbooks
Fundamental Ideas of Analysis by Michael Reed. We will be covering Chapters 1-6, but not every section in each of these chapters will be covered
Assignments
Weekly homework and proof-writing assignment.
Exams
There will be a midterm and a final exam.
Grade to be based on
Your final letter grade will be based on these components weighted as follows: long assignment(s) 10-15%, regular homework 20-25%, midterm exam 25%, final exam 40%.
