MATH 4381:Real Analysis I

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: MATH 2390
This course provides a rigorous introduction to the calculus of a single real variable and a deeper awareness of the theory of calculus than can be achieved in the elementary calculus courses. Among the topics covered in the course are completeness of the number system, elementary topology of the real line, limits of sequences, and limits and continuity of functions. The aim of this course is two-fold, to provide an understanding of the nature of the real number system and its role in the theory of calculus, and to provide a training in the discovery and writing of rigorous mathematical proofs.
