Texts: Principles of Mathematical Analysis, by W. Rudin,
Real and Complex Analysis, 3rd Edition, by W. Rudin

Course Description:


This is the second half of a two-course sequence which will cover derivatives, Riemann-Stieltjes integrals, sequence and series functions, and if time permits, some special functions. Prerequisite: MA 433.

Homework:

We will have weekly homework. The homework problems associated with material discussed in class should be completed as soon as possible.  Students should spend two hours out of class for every hour in class. This amounts to one hour per day (on average) for this course.  Use this time to review class notes, work carefully through the text, and prepare solutions to the problems.

Mathematics is easiest to learn when studied in small, frequent chunks of time.  The unconscious mind requires time to organize material presented by the conscious mind.  Feed the unconscious mind regularly to keep it working!  Try to do at least one hour of math every day.

I encourage you to work in groups but prepare your writing in your own words. No late homework will be accepted.
