Instructor:
Malgorzata Peszynska, Professor of Mathematics
Class:
MWF 14:00-15:00 Kidd 280, and W 16:00-17:00 Kidd 280
Course information: Credits: 4.00.
This class is the first one in a two-term sequence
311 -
312 but some students take only the first class.
If you take both, in principle, each of these classes can be taken
separately but it is best if they are taken in order.
Student preparation: the students should have completed our
lower division calculus sequence MTH 251-5 or equivalent, and MTH
355. Please contact the instructor with questions.
Syllabus:
In the course we will cover rigorously many concepts you know from
basic calculus sequence as well as many new advanced topics. In
particular, we will discuss
- axiomatic properties and topology of real line
- convergence of sequences and series
- continuity and limits of functions
- differentiation and Riemann integration
- applications and other topics as time permits
Rigorous mathematical writing will be emphasized.
Textbook:

Patrick M. Fitzpatrick,
Advanced Calculus, AMS 2006, ISBN 9780821847916
Grading: Homework counts as (HW) 40%, Quizzes (QU) as 10%, and Exams as (EX) 25% each.

There will be no make-up exams.
Course Outcomes: A successful student will be able to
- Read, understand, and construct logically sound arguments relevant to
calculus of single variable
- Provide rigorous proofs of basic facts from calculus of single variable
- Use advanced techniques of analysis of functions, sequences, and series
of single variable
Special arrangements for students with disabilities: please
