Math 142B
Advanced Calculus
Spring 2007
This course may be thought of as a deeper look at the theory of functions of a
single real variable. Many of the topics will remind you of your Freshman/Sophomore calculus,
but many new ideas will be introduced. There will also be a greater
emphasis on proof and on gaining a better understanding of
the basic principles. You will be expected to do a certain amount
of mathematical writing, in your homework assignments and on your exam papers.
This second term of Advanced Calculus
revolves around integration and infinite series.
- The textbook for the course is
A Friendly Introduction to Analysis (Second Edition, Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2004) by W.A.J. Kosmala.
(I plan to cover topics found in Chapters 6-8
of the text.)
- Lectures will be on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, from 2 PM to 2:50 PM, in Peterson 102.
- Your discussion sections with the TA (R. Tully-Doyle) meet on Thursdays in
APM B412 from 10 AM to 10:50 PM.
- Your course grade will be based
on your performance on the two midterm exams (fourth and eighth weeks) and the final exam.
These
exams will be weighted as follows:
- Midterm 1: 20%
- Midterm 2: 20%
- Final: 35%
- In addition there will be
weekly homework assignments which in total will account for the
remaining 25% of your grade. These assignments will be due in the homework drop-box on the sixth floor of APM,
by 9AM Fridays.
- The +/- grading system will be
used for letter grades.
