Text: Basic Real Analysis by Houshang H. Sohrab

MT804–5 is a year-long sequence that emphasizes the basic ideas and results of calculus, and provides an introduction to abstract analysis. The course begins with an axiomatic introduction to the real number system. Metric spaces are then introduced. Theoretical aspects of convergence, continuity, differentiation, and integration are treated carefully and are studied in the context of a metric space. The course includes an introduction to the Lebesgue integral.

Homework
Homework will be assigned and collected frequently. If you wish to turn in any homework longer than one page, you must use a stapler or paper clip. This does not mean that you can fold the edges of the pages over.

Grades

There will be one examination during the semester, counting for 20% of your grade, and a final counting for 30%. The examination is tentatively scheduled for Friday, February 28. Homework will account for the remainder of your grade.

The final examination is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at 9 AM. This time is selected by the Registrar, and cannot be altered.
