Advanced Calculus I (MAA4211) Fall 2019

Fall 2019: Section 16G0, MWF 2nd hour, Little Hall, room 125

Email: mjury@ufl.edu

Office: Little Hall 484

Office Hours: M 5th, W 7th, F 3rd

EXAM WEEK OFFICE HOURS:   Monday 1-3pm, Tuesday 10am-12, Wednesday 1-3pm


Text: There is no required text for the course, all the material may be found in the lecture notes which will be posted below as the course progresses. If you want to look at a book, two that may be helpful are

Introduction to Analysis, by Maxwell Rosenlicht, Dover, 1968.

and

Principles of Mathematical Analysis, by Walter Rudin, McGraw-Hill, 1976.


Course Content

A rigorous treatment of the foundations of Calculus including the real numbers; metric spaces; continuity, differentiation; and sequences and series of functions. In addition to mastery of the course content, course objectives include reading, writing, and discovering proofs and constructing proofs and counterexamples in analysis.

During the fall semester I expect to cover Chapters 1–8 in the lecture notes.

Homework submissions in LaTeX are encouraged. I will provide a template .tex file for you to use (see below).

All problem numbers refer to the lecture notes posted above.

Homework 9  (due Monday 25 November) – Problems 8.10 and 8.24

Homework 8  (due Wednesday 13 November) – Problem 6.4

Homework 7 (due Friday 18 October) – Problem 4.13
