Second Test:
Important things you ought to know:
1) Monotone Convergence (Th2.19) know proof, Nested Interval Property(Th2.23)
Bolzano- Weierstrass theorem (Theorem 2.26)
2) Definition of Cauchy sequence. Theorem of Cauchy (Th2.29) know proof.
Find a Cauchy sequence in Q which does not converge in Q
(thus completeness is essential for convergence of Cauchy sequences)
3) Limsup and Liminf of sequences. Important Theorems 2.35 and 2.37
4) Definition for limits of function (Definition 3.1). Prove the five
limit statements on top of page 62 only using definition
(i.e. without using description of limits by sequences).
One of them will be on test
Squeeze Theorem Comparison.
5) Sequential Characterization of limits (Th3.6) know proof. Prove all limit theorems
using that characterization and corresponding limit theorems for
sequences.
6) Definition of one sided limits (3.12) and Theorem 3.14
7) Continuity, Definition 3.19, and sequential characterization (Th 3.21)
8) Very important theorems : Extreme Value Theorem 3.26 and
Intermediate Value theorem 3.29. Know the proofs and examples
which show that these theorems are wrong if some of the assumptions
are not satisfied.
