Tentative Grading Policy:  Final 45%, Midterm 30%, quizzes 15%, homework 10%

 

Outline of course:

 

The purpose of this course is to develop techniques for proving theorems about the functions one encounters in calculus.  The course will be mostly based upon Chapters 3-5 of the text.  It is an introduction to real analysis which is treated in more detail in Mathematics 118ABC.

 

A prerequisite for this course is Math 8, which introduces the basic ideas of mathematical proof, and the theory of sets and functions.  Mathematical proof is reviewed in Chapter 1 of the text, while set theory is reviewed in Chapter 2.  We will give a brief review of set theory and functions during the first week of the course.

 

Homework:  Homework will usually be assigned on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

 

Quizzes:  Several practice quizzes and pop quizzes may be given at various times throughout the session.
