Course Content and Objectives

The second semester of a rigorous year long introduction to modern analysis. Topics include sequences of functions, the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem, the Lebesgue integral, the Lebesgue spaces \(L^1(\mu)\) and \( L^2(\mu)\) and power and Fourier series.

Text book

  • Text: Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Walter Rudin, McGraw-Hill 1976

Homework.

Ten homework problems will be assigned and graded. The best eight will count toward the course grade. Each is worth 10 points.

Mid-terms.

There will be two mid-term exams. Each is worth 10 points.

Grading

A course total will be based upon the homework assignments and two mid-terms with 100 points total possible. Grades will then be assigned according to the scale:

    90 A
    87 A-
    83 B+
    80 B
    77 B-
    70 C+
    65 C
    50 D

Attendance

Attendance is recommended.


Additional Information:

Grades. Grading will be in accord with the UF policy stated at https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/grades.aspx. Also see the current UF policy on assigning grade points.

Academic Honesty. The course will be conducted in accordance with the University honor code and academic honesty policy

    UF students are bound by The Honor Code Pledge which states, “We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honor and integrity by abiding by the Honor Code.” On all work submitted for credit by students at the University of Florida, the following pledge is either required or implied: “On my honor, I have niether given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.” The Honor Code specifies a number of behaviors that are in violation of this code and the possible sanctions. Furthermore, you are obligated to report any condition that facilitates academic misconduct to appropriate personnel. If you have questions or concerns please consult with the instructor.

Accommodation for students with disabilities. Students with disabilities requesting accommodations should first register with the Disability Resource Center (352-392-8565, https://www.dso.ufl.edu/drc/) by providing appropriate documentation. Once registered, students will receive an accommodation letter which must be presented to the instructor when requesting accommodation. Students with disabilities should follow this procedure as early as possible in the semester.

Online Evaluations. “Students are expected to provide feedback on the quality of instruction in this course by completing online evaluations at https://evaluations.ufl.edu. Evaluations are typically open during the last two or three weeks of the semester, but students will be given specific times when they are open. Summary results of these assessments are available to students at https://evaluations.ufl.edu/results/.”
