Introduction to Real Analysis
● State and apply the definitions and terminology of basic set theory, mathematical logic, the fundamental property of real numbers; ● State and apply rigorous formulation of limits of sequence, series, continuity, differentiation and integration to solve various mathematical questions at appropriate difficulty level; ● Use Latex effectively for mathematical writing; ● Develop rigorous mathematical proof and writing skills; ● Communicate mathematics effectively and develop rigorous math thinking which prepares for more advanced courses.
An investigation into the mathematical foundations of calculus. Through lectures and exercises, visit fundamental concepts of mathematical analysis including logic, basic set theory, functions, number systems, order completeness of the real numbers and its consequences, sequences and series, topology of R^n, continuous functions, uniform convergence, compactness, and theory of differentiation and integration. Expand mathematical proof and writing skills through ample practice with LaTex to communicate mathematics effectively and demonstrate rigorous math thinking in preparation for more advanced courses.
