Math 300: Topics in Analysis, Spring 2009
Time: MWF: 11:35-12:25
Office Hours: See Reading week
Location: LOM 205
Textbook: "Fundamental Ideas of Analysis" by Michael Reed
Another useful Reference: "Analysis, an Introduction" by Richard Beals.
Both these books are on reserve at the Engineering & Applied Science Library in Becton Center.
The course will cover most of chapters 1-6 in the textbook. Two theorems will be of special interests: the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem and the Contraction Mapping Theorem. It is expected that students will be fully familiar with proofs and some applications of these theorems.
Reading and Homework Assignments: The pages listed for each week contain the topics to be discussed in class that week. The problems listed in "Homework" are due in class on Friday of the week they are listed in. No late homework will be accepted. If an assigned problem has several parts (i.e. a,b,c,d,e) and no specification is given, you are to solve all parts.
Exams: There will be a midterm and a final exam. The dates will be announced.
Grading: The grading scheme is: 30% for the homework; 30% for the midterm; 40% for the final.
Syllabus: (Tentative)
