Math 825 Section 001, 1st Semester, '07-'08


Math 825, Mathematical Analysis I is offered by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. There is only one section, which meets 1:30-2:20 MWF in Oldfather 304 and is taught by Allan Donsig.


Announcements

The policy handout and syllabus are available, in pdf format.

Tests

Information about tests, and their solutions, will be posted here.

The first test will be from 3:30 to 5:30 pm on Tuesday, October 16 in Bessey 108. The test covers Chapters 2, 3, and Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Here is an old test from the last time I taught this class, along with the solutions to it. Note that we have covered part of Chapter 4, which is not on the old test, and that I will not ask you for the proof of a theorem.


Assignments

Assignments will be posted here, in pdf format. Solutions will be posted on blackboard, also in pdf format. (I do not want to make solutions to textbook exercises publicly available.) The TeX code for the assignments is posted somewhere else. Note that, in addition to the file for the assignment, helpfully called assignNN.tex, you will also need the file newtest.cls, which specifies the macros used in the assignment file. Further, you'll need to be using LaTeX2e (almost certainly, you are) and have access to the amsmath package (which I think is part of the default distribution).

Quizzes

Here is a list of quiz questions. Since the answers are clearly stated in the lectures and the textbook, I don't give them here.

1 Define ``L is the limit of (a1,a_2a_3...)''
2 Define `A (contained in F) is bounded below', and b) State the Squeeze Theorem.
3 State the Least Upper Bound Principle and the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem.
4 State the Cauchy Criterion for Convergence of a Series.
5 State the Ratio Test.
6 State a) The Rearrangement Theorem, and b) The Schwarz Inequality.
7 Define a) The closure of a set A, a subset of Rn and b) B, a subset of Rn, is an open set.
8 Define a) A, a subset of Rn, is compact, and b) f from S to Rm, $S$ a subset of Rn, is continuous at s in S.
9 State the sequential characterization of continuity.
10 State Fermat's Theorem.
11 Define U(f,P) for a bounded function f : [a,b] -> R and a partition P={a=x0 < x1 < .... < xn = b} of [a,b], including any symbols used in your definition.
