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:

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.
