Course: Math 140B
Title: Foundations of Analysis
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: Math 140A
Course Description: See the listing of Math courses in the online course catalog.
Textbook: Principles of Mathematical Analysis (Third Edition), by Walter Rudin; published by McGraw-Hill, Inc.; copyright 1976
Subject Material: We shall cover most of chapters 5 (Differentiation), (Riemann-Stieltjes Integral) and 7 (Sequences and Series of Functions) of the text, and perhaps some topics in chapter 8 (Special Functions) if there is time. A more complete list of the topics covered can be extracted from the list of assigned exercises (as they are added) on the course homework page.
Reading: It will be expected that you read the assigned material in advance of the class period indicated by the course calendar. The amount of reading is not large in quantity; however, it is heavy in conceptual content.
Homework: Homework will be assigned on the course homework page and will be collected in lecture each Friday. Your homework grade will be based on the best five (5) of seven (7) homework assignments. Late homework will not be accepted.
Midterm Exams: There will be two midterm exams given during the lecture hour on Friday of the fourth and eighth weeks; see the course calendar for the date of the midterm exam. There will be no makeup exams. You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the each midterm exam.
Final Examination: The final examination will be held at the date and time stated in the course calendar. It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot take the final examination at its scheduled time. You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final examination; no other notes (or books) or calculators will be allowed.
Grading: Your course grade will be based on the better of the following two (2) weighted averages. Note that the homework grade will be based on your best five (5) of seven (7) assignments.
Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at UCSD. Students caught violating the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or expulsion from the university. You should read the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship, especially the Students' Responsibility section.
