Notes.
The final quiz has been graded and is available for pick up form the trays outside my office.
CORRECTION to FINAL EXAM TIME.
As discussed in class Tuesday, March 6th, there was indeed an error in
the time of the final exam as posted in the Tentative Daily
Planner. The correct time is 5:30 to 7:20pm. That is two
hours later than originally listed. I double checked the official
schedule and corrected all the documents below.
Old Notes
Welcome
to Mth 311.
Perhaps a more descriptive name for this course would
be introduction to the foundations of mathematical analysis. The
course is more focused on rigorous development of fundamental concepts
than in computations using the tools from calculus. For more
details see the syllabus and general comments below.
The text to be used is: An Introduction to Analysis 4th Edition, by William R. Wade, published by Pearson, Prentice Hall.
There is a different book ON RESERVE for the class (Steven R. Lay,
Analysis with an introduction to proof) which has more background on
propositional logic and proof methods in analysis, with lots of
examples. Some of the discussion for the first two class meetings will be derived from this text.
Important information: The student Code of Conduct is available at http://pdx.edu/dos/conduct.html
NOTE on remaining quizzes: The remaining two quizzes will be given at the BEGINNING of the class. Please try to arrive on time.
NOTE on office hours on 3/13
and 3/15. Due to special visitor talks on both days, office hours
are moved up one hour from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. Finals week office
hours will be on Tuesday, March 20 from 3:30 to 4:30.
More Practice problems:
we will discuss these problems in class and the quiz on 03/15 will be
based on such problems. These are not for turning in, but try
them out so we can have a meaningful discussion on Tuesday.
