Class meeting: Math 3316.01, MW 3:30-4:45 JBWN 130B

Texts:

"Elementary Analysis:The Theory of Calculus", by Kenneth Ross, Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, Springer publisher.

"Exploratory Examples for Real Analysis" by J.Snow and K. Weller, MAA publisher.

Course Content: This is a mathematical theory course. This course deals with the theory of calculus as well as how mathematics is established, i.e., how results are proved, so that one knows it is safe to apply the theory for use in solving problems. We use the subject matter calculus of single variable functions to learn how to develop proofs and to justify techniques and claims from elementary calculus. In contrast to beginning calculus, the emphasis is on the development of the theory behind the familiar techniques and applications of calculus. Topics include a brief look at real number system, limits, sequences of real numbers, continuity, and differentiability.

Prerequisite Math 3310 (Differential Equations) with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.

Attendance Attendance is essential and counts in the course grade through the presentation grade. Attendance will be taken daily. Any student missing 4 or more class meetings may, at the instructor's discretion, be dropped from the course with a grade of WA.

Grade Two within-term exams are worth 20% each, a comprehensive final is worth 20%, exercise journal together with class presentation is worth 12%, average of lab scores counts 12%, and essay HW average totals 16%. With sufficient notice, a within-term exam may be taken early. There are NO make-up exams; a missed exam counts as a zero. The final exam grade can be used to replace the lowest exam grade if that improves the student's grade.
