The emphasis in this course is not on learning facts, but rather on writing clear and rigorous proofs. Some of the material covered in this course may be quite familiar to you. The goal is to understand and write about this material in a formal mathematical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Homework will be assigned regularly but not collected. However, doing all the homework is essential for success in this class as the exams test your conceptual understanding of the homework assignments. Many homework problems involve doing proofs. Students are encouraged to check their proofs with their instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is the tentative list of homework problems:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.1.6, 1.2.4, 1.3.6.<br>\nOther problems: 1.1.1, 1.1.5, 1.1.7, 1.2.1, 1.2.5, 1.2.7, 1.2.9, 1.2.11, 1.2.14, 1.2.16, 1.3.1, 1.3.3, 1.3.5, 1.3.7.<\/li>\n<li>1.5.5, 2.1.3, 2.1.5.<br>\nOther problems: 1.4.1, 1.4.4, 1.4.8, 1.4.10, 1.4.12, 1.5.1, 1.5.4, 1.5.6, 1.5.8, 2.1.1, 2.1.4, 2.1.7, 2.2.1, 2.2.4, 2.2.6, 2.2.8, 2.2.11.<\/li>\n<li>2.3.10, 3.1.8, 3.2.10.<br>\nOther problems: 2.3.1, 2.3.4, 2.3.8, 2.3.11, 2.3.13, 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.1.9, 3.1.11, 3.1.14, 3.2.1, 3.2.5, 3.2.8, 3.2.11, 3.2.14.<\/li>\n<li>3.3.18, 3.4.19, 3.5.10.<br>\nOther problems: 3.3.1, 3.3.3, 3.3.7, 3.3.9, 3.3.12, 3.3.14, 3.3.17, 3.3.20, 3.3.22, 3.3.25, 3.4.1, 3.4.4, 3.4.7, 3.4.9, 3.4.12, 3.4.15, 3.4.17, 3.4.21, 3.4.23, 3.5.1, 3.5.4, 3.5.7, 3.5.11, 3.5.15, 3.5.19, 3.5.22, 3.5.23, 3.5.26, 3.5.28, 3.5.30.<\/li>\n<li>3.6.8, 3.6.10.<br>\nOther problems: 3.6.1, 3.6.4, 3.6.6, 3.6.11, 3.7.1, 3.7.4, 3.7.9.<\/li>\n<li>4.1.10, 4.2.8ab, 4.2.9.<br>\nOther problems: 4.1.1, 4.1.4, 4.1.6, 4.1.8, 4.1.12, 4.2.1, 4.2.4, 4.2.10.<\/li>\n<li>4.3.14, 4.3.18, 4.4.6.<br>\nOther problems: 4.3.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.5, 4.3.7, 4.3.10, 4.3.13, 4.3.17, 4.3.20, 4.3.23, 4.4.1, 4.4.4, 4.4.8, 4.4.11, 4.4.14, 4.4.17, 4.4.21.<\/li>\n<li>4.4.22, 4.6.13, 4.6.16a.<br>\nOther problems: 4.6.1, 4.6.3, 4.6.5, 4.6.9, 4.6.12, 4.6.15, 4.6.19, 4.6.21, 4.6.23.<\/li>\n<li>5.1.17, 5.2.15, 5.3.12.<br>\nOther problems: 5.1.1, 5.1.3, 5.1.5, 5.1.7, 5.1.10, 5.1.12, 5.1.16, 5.1.18, 5.2.2, 5.2.5, 5.2.7, 5.2.10, 5.2.14, 5.2.17, 5.3.1, 5.3.3, 5.3.5, 5.3.9, 5.3.11, 5.3.14, 5.3.16.<\/li>\n<li>6.1.2, 6.1.11, 6.2.3.<br>\nOther problems: 6.1.1, 6.1.3, 6.1.7, 6.1.10, 6.1.14, 6.1.19, 6.2.1, 6.2.4, 6.2.8, 6.2.10, 6.2.13.<\/li>\n<li>6.3.9, 6.4.4, 7.1.3abc.<br>\nOther problems: 6.3.1, 6.3.6, 6.3.8, 6.3.12, 6.3.15, 6.3.18, 6.3.20, 6.4.1, 6.4.3, 6.4.6, 6.4.8, 6.4.10, 6.4.14, 6.4.18, 6.4.20, 7.1.1, 7.1.4, 7.1.6, 7.1.8, 7.1.17, 7.1.20.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grading System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The course grade will be determined by three in-class exams (90 points each), the first two of which will be announced a week in advance and the third one will be on the last day of classes. <strong>No electronic devices (including calculators) are permitted during the exams.<\/strong> As well, there will be at least 3 quizzes unannounced in advance (each weighted 10 points).
