Course Description. Credit 3. Axioms of the real number system; point set theory of the real number line; compactness, completeness and connectedness; continuity and uniform continuity; sequences, series; theory of Riemann integration. More specifcally, I plan to cover chapters 1-6. The plan is: 2 weeks on chapter 1, 1 1/2 weeks on chapter 2, 2 1/2 weeks on chapter 3, 2 weeks on chapter 4, 4 weeks on chapter 5, and 2 weeks on chapter 6.

Prerequisite: MATH 220 and 221.

Grading. Your grade will be determined by two in class exams (25% for each), cumulative final exam (35%), and weekly home work (15%).

The grade will be given according to the following percentage:

90%-100%=A, 75%-89%=B , 65%-74%=C, 55%-64%=D, less than 55%=F

Dates of in class exams Exam I: Mon Oct 6; Exam II: Fri Nov 7; The sections covered on a test will be announced well before the test. Complaints about test grades must be made within two weeks of when the test is returned to the class. Beyond that time, the grade will not be changed.

The date of final exam Wed Dec 10, 10:30 a.m-12:30 a.m.

Homework: Will be posted Fridays and is due next Friday. The homework that is not submitted by the end of lecture on Friday is "late" and will suffer a 20% penalty if graded. You have until end of lecture on Monday to deliver the late homework. The homework that is not submitted by the end of lecture on Monday will not be graded (you will get 0 points for it). The instructor is not responsible for misplaced and/or late homework.

Make-up policy If you must miss a test due to a University excused absence (see http://student-rules.tamu.edu) notify me before the test if possible, but if this is not feasible (e.g., accident or emergency), you must provide notifcation by the end of the second working day after the absence. This notifcation should include an explanation of why notice could not be sent prior to the absence. Otherwise I'm under no obligation to write a make-up exam. For a short-term absence (less than three days) for medical reasons I will accept the appropriate form at http://shs.tamu.edu/forms.htm as documentation.


Scholastic dishonesty: Copying work done by others, either in-class or out of class, is an act of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent allowed by University policy. Collaboration on assignments, either in-class or out-of-class, is forbidden unless permission to do so is granted by your instructor. For more information on university policies regarding scholastic dishonesty, see University Student Rules .
