Course Information:
This course is meant to familiarize the student with the rigorous theory behind the study of functions of a single real variable, and goes over the proofs of some of the major results used in calculus. Topics to be covered include: the topology and order structure of the real line; sequences of real numbers and limits of sequences; functions of a real variable: limits of functions at a point, continuous functions and their properties -- Intermediate Value Theorem , uniform continuity; the derivative of a function at a point and differentiability, the Mean Value Theorem, and Taylor's Theorem; the Riemann integral and its properties, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; and if time permits, a brief overview of series of real numbers and power series expansions.

Prerequisite:
Math 2001 or the equivalent, or instructor consent.

Course Text:
We will use the text "Analysis, With an Introduction to Proof", S.R. Lay, Pearson - Prentice Hall, 2005, 4th edition. After a quick review of Chapters 1 and 2, we will cover most of Chapters 3--7, and part of Chapter 8.

Dr. Lay's web page has a link to an errata page for the 4th Edition at http://webpages.leeu.edu/slay/
