MAT 141 - Honors Calculus I
Books
The axiomatic definition of the real numbers is discussed in the
following books:
MIT Lecture Notes
Apostol's book is also used to teach calculus at MIT. Professor Munkres
has written a series of lecture notes for that course. Although our
course is different than theirs, his notes might be useful. They are
available online through the MIT Open Courseware project.
Math Club
Students with an interest in (or curiosity about) mathematics should consider
joining Stony Brook's Math Club. They meet every Thursday evening at 7:00
pm in room P-131 of the math building. More information about the club
is available on their website.
Putnam Competition
The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is a national competition
that tests original thinking and creativity in mathematics. Stony Brook
participates every year. There are cash awards for individual and team
accomplishment. Anyone who is interested should contact the faculty
sponsor, Professor Sawon. |
