Analysis I (Fall 2014)

 

Instructor: Paul E. Hand

Office: Duncan 3086

Email: hand [at] rice.edu

Lectures: TR, 10:50-12:05 in Fondren 412

Office Hours: Mondays 4-6pm


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Real numbers, completeness, sequences and convergence, compactness, continuity, the derivative, the Riemann integral, the fundamental theorem of calculus. Vector spaces, dimension, linear maps, inner products and norms. This course in intended to assist CAAM graduate students in preparing for the qualifying exams. See the syllabus.

Text Book: Undergraduate Analysis by Lang

Homeworks: Homework assignments will be given weekly. They will be posted on Wednesdays and will be due the following Tuesday. Two assignments will be pledged and will each count as 20% of the grade. The other homework assignments will count for 50% of the grade. Classroom participation will count as 10% of the grade. Homeworks should be handed in on time. One homework will be accepted up to a week late without consequence. In that time, you may not look at the posted solutions. Subsequent late submissions will not be accepted, unless by prior permission of the instructor or by a truly exceptional circumstance.

Classroom participation: Each day of class, one or two students will present a theorem from that day’s content. The classroom participation grade will be based on the sincerity of your preparation for these presentations. Please follow my comments and suggested structure for the presentations.

Outside resources: You are not allowed to use the Problems and Solutions book accompanying Lang’s Undergraduate Analysis text for any of the homeworks.

Disabilities: Any student with a disability needing academic accommodations is requested to speak with me as soon as possible. All discussions will remain confidential. Students should also contact Disability Support Services in the Ley Student center.
