Math 327A: Introductory Real Analysis I

Professor Monty (William) McGovern 
Winter 2012


Instructor:
Monty (or William) McGovern
Office: Padelford C-450
Phone: 206-543-1149
Email: mcgovern@math.washington.edu
Office Hours: TTh 1:30 and by appointment, Padelford C-450
Lectures:
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12:30-1:20 p.m., More Hall 221
Prerequisites:
Math 324 or the equivalent. 
Exams:

1st Midterm: Friday, January 27, in class.
2nd Midterm: Friday, February 24, in class.
Final: Thursday, March 15, 8:30-10:20, in class.

Grading:
Your grade will be based equally on homework, two midterms, and a final. In case you must miss a midterm, I would very much appreciate ADVANCE NOTICE so that other arrangements can be made to take it. If you cannot complete a homework assignment on time, you can always turn it in by 3:00 on the day it is due to my mailbox. PLEASE turn in WHATEVER YOU CAN rather than nothing. In all tests you may use two letter-sized pages (one sheet front and back of notes in your own handwriting).
Incompletes and Drops:
The grade of Incomplete will be given ONLY if a student has been doing satisfactory work until the end of the quarter and then misses the final exam for a documented illness, religious reason, or family emergency.
What to Expect:
We will learn some of the theory behind the basic calculations of single-variable calculus, whith a higher level of rigor than in Math 326. We will cover the construction of the real numbers, limits of sequences, and some basic properties of continuous functions, including uniform continuity and convergence. Please note that we are using a different text than the usual one, so we will not be covering certain topics that others in different sections of 327 will see, but on the other hand we will be covering other topics that they will not.
