General information
Instructor: Malgorzata Peszynska, Professor of Mathematics
Class: MWF 9:00-10:00 Weniger 275, and W 10:00-11:00 Weniger 287
Course information: CRN 19270. Credits: 4.00.
This class is the first one in a two-term sequence MTH 311 - MTH 312 but some students take only the first class.
If you take both, in principle, each of these classes can be taken separately but it is best if they are taken in order.
Student preparation: the students should have completed our lower division calculus sequence MTH 251-5 or equivalent, and have prior experience with proofs. Please contact the instructor with questions.
Syllabus: In the course we will cover rigorously many concepts you know from basic calculus sequence as well as many new advanced topics. In particular, we will discuss
  • axiomatic properties and topology of real line
  • convergence of sequences and series
  • continuity and limits of functions
  • differentiation and Riemann integration
  • applications and other topics as time permits


Textbook:
  • Patrick M. Fitzpatrick, Advanced Calculus, AMS 2006, ISBN 9780821847916


Grading: Homework, quizzes, worksheets, and class participation count as (HW) 40% and Exams as (EX) 30% each.
Homework: will be assigned essentially weekly and collected in class; check website and schedule for current information. Late Homework will not be accepted and students are responsible for any material they missed. The quizzes, worksheets, and other forms of class participation will be scheduled depending on class progress. The lowest two scores out of HW scores will be dropped so if you miss any of these, there is no need for a make-up.
Extra credit up to 10% can be awarded for class presentations and/or projects assigned individually to a student by the instructor.
Exams:
  • Midterm: Wed 10/31, in class. Help session: Monday 10/29, 5:00-7:00, Kidd 358
  • Final Exam: Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, at 6:00pm.
    Help session: Tuesday 12/4, 12:30-2:30, Kidd 280
There will be no make-up exams or quizzes.

Course Outcomes: A successful student will be able to
  • Read, understand, and construct logically sound arguments relevant to calculus of single variable
  • Provide rigorous proofs of basic facts from calculus of single variable
  • Use advanced techniques of analysis of functions, sequences, and series of single variable

Special arrangements for students with disabilities, make-up exams etc.: please contact the instructor and Services for Students with Disabilities, if relevant, and provide appropriate documentation.
