What is this course about?
In this course we will present the foundations of
the Calculus of functions of one variable. We shall begin
with axioms and fundamental properties of the real numbers
and then rigorously establish all of the fundamental theorems
that are only quoted in the basic Calculus sequence. An
understanding of this material is fundamental for anyone
interested in continued study of analysis and differential
equations and many other areas of mathematics.
We shall cover the first four chapters of the textbook
`` Foundations of Anaylsis'' by Belding and Mitchell. A detailed
syllabus,
which gives the homework assignments, will be updated
throughout the term.
Prerequisites: It is expected that students have a good grasp of the material in the basic Calculus sequence. It is also required that students have completed MAT200 or its equivalent. Anyone without MAT200 should speak with the instructor about the advisability of taking MAT319 and about the possibility of waiving this prerequisite.
Grading Policy: Your grade will be determined by your scores on
Homework: Homework problems will be assigned weekly (see syllabus). They are due the next week at the beginning of the Tuesday lecture. One problem will be graded each week. You get 5 points if you (reasonably) attempt to solve at least 80% of the problems and 5 points if you solve the graded problem correctly. You are expected to participate in recitations. Projects will also be assigned to individuals and to groups. The T.A. will determine a recitation grade at the end of the course based on your graded homework problems and on your performance on projects and in recitation classes.Midterm 1 : 20% Midterm 2 : 20% Final : 35% Recitations : 25%
Exam Schedule:
Midterm 1 : Thursday, March 4th, 11:20-12:40 in Physics P116
