Math 240B/C -- Real Analysis (Winter/Spring 2012) Course Information

(http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~bdriver/240b-c_2012/index.htm)


You should also routinely login to your TED (https://ted.ucsd.edu/) account for more course information. TED  is the web interface through which solutions and possibly other course materials will be communicated. Please check it frequently for announcements. The TED site will also contain a record of your grades for this course -- please make sure they are accurate.


New Announcements

  • There is no class on Monday June 4, 2012 but you may be interested in Tom Laetsch's thesis defense on Monday at 10:00AM.
  • There will be class on Wednesday (Wave equation basics) and on Friday (Quantum Harmonic Oscillator) of next week.
  • Here is a list of the key topics for Math 240: Math 240 Topics_Ver2.pdf

     
  • For another interesting application of Tychonoff's theorem, see section 5. in Ken Brown's notes.

Instructor:         Bruce Driver (bdriver@ucsd.edu  /  534-2648) in AP&M 5260.

Grader:              Jesus Oliver ( jroliver@math.ucsd.edu / 534-9062) AP&M  6333

Meeting times: MWF 11:00 -- 11:50 AM in  AP&M 5402.

Textbook:         I will mainly follow the lecture notes which will be available from this web-site.  We will also use Gerald B. Folland, "Real Analysis, "Modern Techniques and Their Applications," 2nd edition.

Prerequisites: Students are assumed to have taken Math 240A or its equivalent (see description below).  Students are also assumed, at the very least, to have taken a two-quarter sequence in undergraduate real analysis covering in a rigorous manner the theory of limits, continuity and the like in Euclidean spaces and general metric spaces. The theorems of Heine-Borel (compactness in Euclidean spaces), Bolzano-Weierstrass (existence of convergent subsequences), the theory of uniform convergence, Riemann integration theory should have been covered. One quarter of undergraduate complex analysis is also recommended.

Homework:    Homework  is assigned, collected, and partially graded regularly. Each homework is due at the beginning of each Friday class.

  • Please print your names and student ID numbers on your homework. Please staple together your homework pages.

  • No late homework will be accepted unless a written verification of a valid excuse (such as hospitalization, family emergency, religious observance, court appearance, etc.) is provided.
     

Test times:     There will be one in class midterm on Wednesday February 15 in class. The final is scheduled for Monday, March 19 from 11:30 - 2:30 PM.
Note: neither rescheduled nor make-up exams will be allowed unless a written verification of a valid excuse (such as hospitalization, family emergency, religious observance, court appearance, etc.) is provided.

 

Office Hours:  M. & W. at 12:00 - 1:00PM  (tentative, subject to change) in my office (AP&M 5260).

Grading:         The course grade will be computed using the following formula:

Grade=.3(Home Work)+.3(Midterm)+.4(Final).
