Course Description: Introduction to Real Analysis; the real number system, limits, continuity, the mean value and Taylor's theorems and applications, Riemann integration and improper integrals.

Grading Policy: 11 Quizes: 5% each... Midterm Exam: 15%... Final:30%...

Note that a quiz may contain proofs and the proofs should be written in a two column format with statements and justifications. Very similar proofs will be on the homework that is required to take the quiz. If you are unsure of the proof of a problem, you may write a question mark next to the step you are unsure of.

In the following syllabus, homework is written below the lesson when it is assigned and should be completed before the next meeting. All quizes and homework collection of *ed problems are on Mondays.

Mon 11/26: Convergence of Series
Review 4.4, 4.10, 4.17, 5.16, 5.17, 5.19, then read 6.7-6.19 carefully. You need to know these proofs very well. You may wish to look these tests up in your old calculus textbook and see the discussion there as well. Then, without consulting the text, write out rigorous proofs of 6.2, 6.5, 6.6, 6.13, 6.15, 6.17 and 6.18. Note 6.18 is tricky because it has limsup in the hypothesis rather than lim. Finally go back to 6.15 and read the last paragraph below the proof. Find the step in your proof which needs the stronger hypothesis.

HW: Read 15.7-8, Do 15.6/2* to hand in on Wed as a quiz
Wed 12/12: Review for Final
The final will have two sections: short answers and proofs. In the proof section there will one proof: either a proof that a function is continuous at a point, or a sequence converges. In the short answer section other proving techniques will be tested including how to write the first line of a proof by contradiction, what the format of a proof by induction is, and how to fill in the justification for a given statement. In order to complete this section you will need to know the statements of all the important theorems and definitions we've learned this semester including sup, inf, bound, limit, bounded increasing sequences converge, sandwich lemma, subsequences of bounded sequences converge, Cauchy sequences, liminf, limsup, theorems about these, continuity, theorems about this, differentiation, mean value theorem, rolle's theorem, Riemann integration of continuous functions, theorems about integration, improper integrals, series, convergence tests including comparison, ratio, root and alternating series tests, Taylor series, radius of convergence, uniform convergence. You will also need working knowledge of these concepts in the sense that you must be able to find the limit, liminf, and limsup of various given sequences, the sup and inf of various sets and functions, the Taylor series for a given function and give its radius of convergence.
Final: Wed Dec 19 11:00am-1:00 pm GI 305
Due to the difficulty of the final, there will be a review session on Thursday Jan 10 10am-12pm in Gillet 205.
Students may then retake the final on Monday Jan 28 10-12 am. This is the ordinary meeting time for Analysis II and Differential Geometry. At that time students who have not taken Analysis I with me will be given a review of proving techniques lesson. Another professor will proctor the exam.
