Content
Differentiation. Riemann integral. Sequences and series of functions. Special functions. Fourier series. This corresponds to chapters 5-8 in Rudin's book.

Grade
Breakdown
The grade is computed as the following weighed average:
  • Homework 20%, Midterm I 20%, Midterm II 20%, Final Exam 40%.
Textbook:W. Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Third Edition.
ReadingsReading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the assigned homework exercises is considered part of the homework assignment. You are responsible for material in the assigned reading whether or not it is discussed in the lecture. It will be expected that you read the assigned material in advance of each lecture.
Homework Homework problems will be assigned on the course homework page. There will be 7 problem sets, due certain Wednesdays at 4:30PM in the TA's mailbox. You may work together with your classmates on your homework and/or ask the TA (or myself) for help on assigned homework problems. However, the work you turn in must be your own. No late homework assignments will be accepted.
Midterm
Exams
There will be two midterm exams given on April 24 and May 22. There will be no makeup exams.
Final
Exam
The final examination will be held on Friday, June 14, 11:30-2:30. There is no make up final examination. It is your responsability to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict during the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot sit for the final examination at its scheduled time.
