functions, the real numbers, sequences and their limits, functions and their limits, continuity, open and
closed sets, compact sets, Heine-Borel Theorem, Intermediate Value Theorem, Differentiability, Rolle’s
Theorem, Mean Value Theorem and L’Hospital’s Rule.
Course Goals: Upon completion of this course students will be able to do the following:
 Demonstrate an understanding of analytic proof techniques.
 Understand the underpinnings of continuity and differentiability.
 Explain themselves through rigorous proof.
Evaluation:
Homework: There will be 14 homework assignments worth 25 points each, you may drop two.
Exams: There will be 5 mid-term exams worth 100 points each.
Final Exam: The final exam will be comprehensive and worth 100 points. The final exam is on

Academic Honesty: Study groups are encouraged. However all work not designated as group work must
be substantially the student’s own work. It is a fundamental rule in academia that another’s work must be
acknowledged. No student shall claim or submit the work of another as one’s own. The University’s
policy concerning academic integrity is covered in the student handbook
