    The key takeaways are that this course covers introductory analysis and real analysis, focusing on proofs. It introduces topics like sets, functions, sequences, limits, and integration in a rigorous mathematical way.

    The topics that will be covered include sets and functions, countable sets and cardinality, sequences, metric spaces, topology, continuity, integration, and some fixed point theorems.

    The assessment components and their weights are: Homework 20%, Midterm I 20%, Midterm II 20%, Quizzes 10%, and Final Exam 30%.

    Exams:

    th th
    • 2 Midterms Exams on February 26 and April 16 .
    • 3-5 Quizzes, dates will be announced in class.
    • Homework, Weekly, generally due on Thursdays

    Comprehensive Final Exam, Thursday May 16th at 9:00 am


    There will be NO make-ups for any exams unless there is a very good reason.

    Grading Scheme:

    Final grade is computed as follows:


    Homework: 20 %, Midterm I: 20 %, Midterm II: 20 %, Quizzes: 10%, Final Exam: 30%.

    Class Participation and Homework:


    One ofthe goals ofthis course isthat you learn the art ofmathematical proofs. I expect frequent
    suggestions and questions during lectures. Homework will be assigned regularly and you may
    work with each other (unless otherwise is instructed) butyou must write up your own answers.

    Topics:

    1. Sets and functions


    2. Countable sets and cardinality
    3. Sequences, subsequences, liminf, limsup
    4. Cauchy sequences, completeness
    5. Metric and norms, metric spaces
    6. The topology of the metric spaces
    7. Compactness and connectedness
    8. Continuity, uniform continuity
    9. Sequences and series of functions, uniform convergence
    10. Sets of measure zero, integration
    11. Some fixed point theorems

    Comments:

    This isa course inwhich the material you saw inCalculus isput on a solid mathematical basis.
    For some of you itwill be the first course in which you are expected not to calculate answers, but
    to give proofs. The transition, though intellectually exciting, is difficult for many students.
    Students who think they will have particular difficulty with proofs are advised to work harder
    and meet with the professor and tutors during as early in the semester as possible.
