Textbook: Analysis with an Introduction to Proof,
Steven R. Lay
Course Description:
The goal of this course is to become comfortable
working with mathematical definitions and
with writing proper proofs.
The material introduced
will be on some basic concepts of analysis, including
some set theory, properties of real numbers, sequences and limits,
and possibly limits and continuity of functions.
Homework:
There will usually be two problem sets due each week,
to be turned in at the beginning of class on Wednesdays and
Fridays. To prevent you from writing down proofs
that you know are not logical, if you write down the statement of
the problem and leave the proof blank, you will receieve 40%
of the credit for the problem.
Quizzes:
There will usually be a quiz every week in class, often covering
definitions.
Midterms:
There will be one midterm on Wednesday, Nov. 8th.
Final Exam: The final exam will be on
Saturday, December 16th,
from 12-3pm.
