Introductory Real Analysis, by F. Dangello and M. Seyfried ; Houghton Mifflin Company, 2000.

 

This course is designed to expose students to topics such as continuity, differentiation, integration in one variable, but under a more rigorous approach. Emphasis in logical and critical thinking, along with mathematical writing, play an essential role in understanding mathematics. To some extent, students at this level are expected to learn how to communicate and prove theoretical results with proper techniques in a clear and coherent manner. Graduate students enrolled in MA502 will be ecpected to complete additional assignments, i.e. homework assignments, outside reading.

 

  • Sequences, limits, continuity.

  • Differentiation of functions of one variable.

  • Reimann integration

  • Sequences and series of functions, uniform convergence

  • Power series and Taylor series

Hourly examinations

    There will be two in-class examinations during the semester. These are scheduled for June 28 and July 21.

Final examination

    There will be a comprehensive final examination from 11:30-2:00p.m on July 28.

Make-ups

    No make-up tests will be given, and no accommodations will be made for a missed assignments. If you miss a test due to a documented illness, family emergency or other extreme circumstance, the weight of your remaining grades will be adjusted to compensate provided I receive a written excuse within a reasonable amount of time after the missed test.

Assignments

    Regular homework will be assigned weekly in your lecture sessions. Your cumulative regular assignment scores will make up 20% of the final course grade. Your assignment must be neatly written with appropriate discussions and stapled. Do not fold it or include it in envelope.

Course grading

    Each student's grade will be based on the individual grades from exams and assignments. The approximate percentage weights are as follows:

      Grade Weights

      Item Approx.
      Weight
      Two Mid-term Exam(s) 50%
      Final Exam 30%
      Regular Assignments 20%
      Total 100%

      Grading Scale

      A 90.0 - 100%
      B 80.0 - 89.9%
      C 70.0 - 79.9%
      D 60.0 - 69.9%
      F Below 60.0%

    The grades will not be curved. That is, there is no quota for the number of A's, B's, etc. that will be given for the course.

You should consider the homework assignments as a minimal exercise. If you don't feel confident after doing the given homework, please do some additional exercises in the textbook. The more exercises you do, the better off you will be. You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with your fellow students, especially in a group setting.
