Syllabus for Analysis

This is the syllabus that meets the University and Southern Association of Colleges requirements and I pass it out after the first few class meetings.

Course: MATH 3380, Advanced Calculus, Fall 2007, MWF 11:15–12:05, Lucas 114

Requirements: Introduction to Advanced Mathematics or permission of instructor

Instructor: W. Ted Mahavier, Lucas 200E, 409.880.2290 (office), 409.347.1809 (home), 985.381.0292 (cell), wtm@mathnerds.com

Office Hours: MTWRF: 9:00–11:00, 1:30–3:00 or stop by my office anytime.

Course Materials: All materials provided by instructor. See also Honesty Policy.

Course Subject Outline: limit points, sequences, continuity, differentiability, and integration theory for functions of one real variable, culminating in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Student Learning Outcomes: The two primary objectives for students in this course are (1) to master the material listed in the Course Subject Outline and (2) to develop their ability to create mathematics, to make conjectures, to test hypotheses, and to prove theorems. Additionally students will hone their mathematical writing skills, their ability to follow the proofs of other students, their ability to question the work of other students, and their ability to communicate mathematics orally.

Attendance Policy: You are responsible for everything that goes on in class regardless of the reason for an absence. I reserve the right to drop any student for three unexcused absences.

Course Goals and Objectives: To actively involve the students in the process of learning the mathematics provided while developing their appreciation of the subject.
