MATH 3001-002: Analysis I

Fall 2015

MWF 12:00-12:50 pm, ECCR 139

Syllabus

Text: Understanding Analysis by Stephen Abbott.
A copy of the first edition of the text will be on reserve (2 Hrs) in the Gemmill Library of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics.

Course description: Provides a rigorous treatment of the basic results from elementary Calculus. Topics include the topology of the real line, sequences of numbers, continuous functions, differentiable functions, and the Riemann integral.

Prerequisite: MATH 2001.
Familiarity with the following topics from the material of MATH 2001 will be assumed.

Homework and Quizzes: There will be regularly assigned homework and quizzes. As a rule, quizzes will take place in the last 10 minutes of Monday lectures, and homework will be due on Wednesdays (by the beginning of the lecture). No late homework will be accepted. The two lowest homework scores and quiz scores won't count towards the final grade. No make-up will be given for homework or quizzes.

Exams: There will be one mid-term exam:

October 9 (Fri), 12:00-12:50 pm (in class),

and a final exam

December 15 (Tue), 4:30-7:00 pm (in class).

Make-up for the midterm will only be given for unavoidable and documented absences.
If you miss the final for reasons that are beyond your control, and you have a passing grade for the rest of the course (i.e., for homework, quizzes, and midterm), then you may request a grade of `Incomplete'. The eligibility criteria and the procedure are described in the the policy for an incomplete grade in the College of Arts and Sciences, which can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/advising/policies-procedures/forms-petitions.

Limits of Collaboration: I recommend that you first attempt to solve the homework problems alone, using only your textbooks and your notes. If you need more help, you may consult other books or persons (including me). However, I require that you write your homework solutions unaided.

No student is allowed to see another's written work before that work has been graded.
No collaboration of any type is permitted on exams.

Grading: You will be graded on your written work, which will be judged on the basis of correctness, completeness, and legibility. Strings of formulas or diagrams without explanation will not be accepted.

Your final grade will be determined by the scores of your homework, quizzes, mid-term exam, and final exam. To combine these items the following weights will be used:

Homework: 25%
Quizzes: 25%
Midterm exam: 20%
Final exam: 30%.

There will be no extra credit assignments.

Getting Help: Don't wait until it is too late if you need help.

Ask questions!

I am available during my office hours and many other times. If you can't see me during office hours, then make an appointment with me to see me at a different time. I will also give short answers to questions sent to me by email.

Campus Policies: By clicking on `Campus Policies' in the left panel at the top of this page you will find details about
