• Proof of a result involving absolute values.
• Proof of a result on least upper bounds whose proof will involve the Archimedian property.
• Proof that the limit of a sequence has a particular value. It is an exercise on 3.2.3.
• Four sequences are given. You are asked to determine whether or not each converges and if it does converge for the value of its limit.

Text: Bartle and Sherbert, Introduction to Real Analysis (Third Edition).

Syllabus: The course will cover material from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of the text.

Homework:

These homework problems will be collected for grading. Groupwork is permitted and (in most cases) encouraged. EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE INDICATED, group assignments may be handed in. Assignments are submitted by placing them in the Assignment Box to be found next to the elevators, North Ross 5th Floor. My normal practice is to collect the papers then post solutions. Late assignments are not accepted.

• Assignment 1 due Sept. 21 at Noon: Available in (html) ,   (postscript)  and   (pdf).
  Solutions will be available in (postscript) and (pdf)once the papers have been collected.

• Assignment 2 now due Oct. 10 at Noon: Available in (html) ,   (postscript)  and   (pdf).

Evaluation:

Graded Assignments	various dates (see above)	15%
Class Tests	October 19, November 23	30%
Final Exam	Examination Period	55%

Alternate Grading Scheme: Assignments 15%, Class Tests 55%, Final Exam 30%.
The scheme which gives the higher grade will be used in each case.

Note: There will be no makeups for missed tests. If you miss a test and provide a certificate indicating clearly that you were unable to write the test for reasons beyond your personal control, the weight of the test will be transferred to the final exam. Otherwise, the mark for the missed test will be 0.

The last date to drop the course without academic penalty is November 9. It is extremely important to realistically assess your course performance prior to this date.
