Course notes and announcements:

  • Hi everybody, this will be the last annoucement for this class... I wish an excellent break to all of you! If you miss real analysis, then you can still read the solutions of the final: part I, and part II !

  • Just a reminder: our Final Exam is on Friday Dec. 21st, usual room (P-112), from 11 AM to 1:30 PM...

  • Your TA Rob told me that he will give an additional practice session next week on Thursday at 2pm in room 5-127. It's certainly a good idea to attend that session...

  • And here come the solutions for the practice final exam . Now the link is the correct one!

  • Here is a practice final exam . You will get the solutions of it very soon (tomorrow). Prepare your questions for Wednesday and Friday.

  • Here are the solutions of Midterm II .

  • I am still waiting before putting online the solution of the midterm (because some of you wanted to bring back a complete solution of the last problem for their writing requirement)... I put online the new HW10, which is light, so that you can enjoy your break (this doesn't make sense to me, because I can't find a better way to spend a break than doing some math HW, so I might add some more problems...)

  • Some hints for HW9 are now available.
    They basically complement what I said this morning.

  • Brand New ! the solutions of the Practice MidtermII are available!
    Please try it first, then read the solutions, then ask me questions on Wednesday (if you need...) Also you might want to prepare some questions for our review session on Wednesday.

  • Practice MidtermII is available!
    Midterm II will be on Friday Nov. 9th.(usual time, usual classroom) It is cumulative in the sense that you need to remember what is the limit of a sequence, or what is a real number, or a least upper bound etc... Thus it covers from chapter 2.1 to 5.3 included. However the problems will cover essentially the chapters studied after Midterm I (thus 3.3 to 5.3). More precisely it should be pretty close to the following practice exam. (Note that the actual exam will be shorter than that). Also remember that I typed for you the solutions of the HW problems, so you might want to have a look at them... There will be a review session next Wednesday (Nov. 7th ). Also you can find me in my office on Monday and Tuesday afternoon, and Thursday afternoon (usual office hours) next week.

  • Starting on Monday October 8th, 319 and 320 are taught separately. MAT 319 will meet in the usual classroom P-112, MWF 10:40 to 11:35 (usual time). Please make sure to bring back the form with your choice between 319 and 320, and go to the Solar system to check that you are currently registered in 319.

    • HW5 has been already assigned by Prof. Phillips: p.80: 1, 3, 8a, 14, 15 and p.86: 1, 3c, 9, 13.

    Quick intro: Simply put, our goal for this class is to revisit all the main theorems of a standard calculus and to provide detailed proofs for these.

    Link to Current Homework: Regularly you will have to consult this homework page to know what has been assigned.
