COURSE DESCRIPTION
We plan to give a self-contained course in analysis, covering chapters 1-6
of the book. The goal of the course, aside from analysis, is to
learn what is a mathematical proof, and how to present it.
For more details, see
here .
WHAT IS A PROOF?

a note by Chris Heil.
PREREQUISITES
MATH 4317.
HOMEWORK
Homework will be due on Tuesdays, collected in the beginning of the class,
and returned back to you the following Tuesday. I will not be assuming that
you know how to think, write and present a mathematical proof, but achieving
this by the end of the semester, will be an important gain for the class.
You are welcomed to work together, but please write down your homework
separately . Please staple your homework, and write clearly, each
problem on a new page. The two lowest homework grades will be dropped. Any
missed homework will be counted as zero.
MIDTERM-EXAMS
There are two in-class midterm exams on Thursday October 5 and November 16.
I do not accept make-up exams unless there is a serious
documented reason.
FINAL EXAM
Conflict in final exams means having 3 final exams in the same day. In that
case, you can reschedule the one in the middle. In case of a final exam
conflict, I need a two week advance notice to accomodate your
request.
ATTENDANCE
Although attendance is not mandatory, you are strongly encouraged to attend.
Students who do not attend
the lectures statistically do below average--and usually end up with a C or
lower grade. Attendance is an important part of learning. During the
lectures, you should turn all powered devices (especially phones, laptops,
music players) off.
GRADES
The final course grade will be calculated according to the
following scheme:
-
Homework : 15 %
-
Midterm : 2 x 25 %
-
Final Exam : 35 %
If the average course grade (out of 100) is
- at least 80, then you will get an A,
- at least 70, then you will get a B or A,
- at least 60, then you will get a C, B or A,
- at least 50, then you will get a D, C, B or A,
- if your final exam grade is less than 40, then you will
get an F.
ACADEMIC HONOR CODE

cut and paste them with no overlaps to a unit square.
