General information
Instructor: Malgorzata Peszynska, Professor of Mathematics
Class: MWF 14:00-15:00 Weniger 275, and W 13:00-14:00
Course information: Credits: 4.00.
This class is the second one in a two-term sequence MTH 311 - MTH 312 .
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 MTH 311 successfully, that is, with a grade C or better. Please contact the instructor with questions.
Syllabus: In the course we will cover many new concepts from advanced calculus. In particular, we will discuss
  • basic topology of R^n
  • functions of several variables: limits, continuity, and differentiability
  • functional sequences and series, and in particular power series
  • other topics as time permits


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


Grading: Homework, worksheets, and class participation count as (HW) 40% and Exams and quizzes 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 score out of HW scores will be dropped.

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 several variables
  • Provide rigorous proofs of basic facts from calculus of several variable
  • Use advanced techniques of analysis of functional sequences and series

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.
