Grading: Homework: 40%, Midterm 20% and Final: 40%

The grade will be determined from, homework, (200 pts.) the mid term, (100 pts.) and the in class final (200 pts.) . (There will be about eight to ten such assignments each consisting of four or five problems.) Half of the homework assignments are to be regarded as "take home exams" for which you may consult other (non human) sources. (Those that are to be so regarded will be clearly marked as such.) For the remaining homework assignments, you are encouraged to engage in discussions with your classmates although the final write up must be in your own words.

NOTE: Although each problem set will have as many as five or six problems, I will only grade one or two from each set. I will determine which of them after I collect the sets.


I expect the solutions to be written up in some version of TEX and solutions e-mailed to me in .pdf format. Failure to do so after the first two problem sets will result in a ten percent reduction in points on the offending sets.

Content of the Course:  The content of this course is part of the real analyisis qualifing examination.   Therefore we will strictly adhere to the following  syllabus.  

Real Analysis

A detailed daily syllabus can be found at common syllabus.
