Text: "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" (third edition) by Walter Rudin, McGraw-Hill.

Syllabus: 140ABC is a rigorous introduction to mathematical analysis. In particular, it gives rigorous development of the foundations necessary for calculus. Most of what we will cover in 140A is in chapters 1-4 of Rudin. The topics are the real and complex number systems, cardinalities, topology of Euclidean space, the notion of metrics and metric spaces, limits, connectedness, completeness and compactness, continuous functions, sequences and series. A less rigorous treatment is given in Math 142AB, but credit cannot be obtained for both 140AB and 142AB.

Prerequisites: MATH 109.

Homework:   Homework is due on Fridays, 3pm, in the TA's dropbox (in AP&M, 6th floor). Late homeworks will not be accepted. It is OK, even encouraged, to discuss homework problems with your classmates, but you are required to write up your own solutions. Please write legibly and in coherent sentences. Each week, 3 of the hoemwork problems will be selected for grading, one of which is the one marked with a * below. The problem marked with a * will not be discussed in sections or during office hours..
