Textbook: Text: Jerrold E. Marsden and Michael J. Hoffman, Elementary Classical Analysis, 2nd ed, W. H. Freeman and Co, 1993.

Course Goals: This is the first semester of a real analysis course. Its object is to give a rigorous treatment of limits, infinite series, continuity, differentiation and integration in $R$ and $R^n$.

Topics Covered: Sets and functions, the real numbers, sequences and their limits, series, point set topology, functions and their limits, continuity, differentiation and integration in $R$.

Course Grading: Your grade will be based on a midterm, a final and a homework score. The midterm will count for 25% of your grade, the final for 30% , the homework for 40%, and 5% for recitation participation. The midterm and final will be curved, if necessary, to bring the median to a C/C+ range. The homework will not be curved. The curve will apply to all grades except A's and A-'s. A's and A-'s must be earned without a curve.

Exam Dates: Midterm, Tuesday, October 15. Final, Tuesday, December 17, 13:00-15:00.

Attendance Policy: Missing classes is entirely at your own risk. If you miss a class without a very good reason, please ask your classmate for his/her class notes and be prepared to learn the material on your own.

Calculator Policy: No calculators will be allowed on the midterm or the final. In fact, it would be best if you do not bring them to class at all.

Letter Grade Scale: : 93-100 A, 90-92 A-, 87-89 B+, 83-86 B, 80-82 B-, 77-79 C+, 73-76 C, 70-72 C-, 65-69 D+, 55-65 D, 50-54 D-, 0-49 F.

Homework: Homework will be assigned at the end of every class, but will not be collected. Instead, every two weeks I will give you a homework assignment consisting of selected homework problems that I will collect and grade. It is extremely important that you do all of your homework, collected and uncollected. I will begin every class by answering homework questions. I will also answer homework questions and discuss homework problems during Wednesday recitations.

Electronic Devices: All electronic devices, including cell phones, calculators, and computers, must be turned off or put into silent mode and stowed out of sight for the duration of the class.

Recitations: Recitations are mandatory. They will be used for problem solving, nonstandard topics, and perhaps pop up quizzes. Recitation participation, as measured by your performance and attendance, will constitute 5% of your course grade.

Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in 100 Ritter Annex (drs@temple.edu; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you. If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as practical. I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities. All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here.

Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar for exact dates.

During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (Opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here.

The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here.
