Syllabus and Homeworks

Homeworks
Homework sets will be typically assigned weekly on Thursday and due next Th in class. They will be posted on this web site (NOT on blackboard site!). Late homework will not be accepted. However, grades for homework assignments may be dropped in cases of documented medical problems or similar difficulties.

Week Dates Notes Topics HW Due date
1 8/29 - 9/2 1-3: Introduction: what are real numbers? Integer numbers and induction; rational numbers and idea of a field; basic properties of real numbers. Read carefully section 3 of the textbook and subsections 4.1-4.4 of section 4.
In particular, work out proofs of Theorems 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5.
Write down solutions for exercises 3.2, 3.4, 3.8, 4.6.
