Math 424 -- Honors Real Analysis -- Fall, 2009
Prof. C. Ward Henson

This is a listing of all assigned homework; unless stated otherwise, all references are to the textbook, Introduction to Analysis by M. Rosenlicht.  There is a separate listing of what was done in each class.

All reading assignments should be completed before the next class.

Come to class ready to discuss any examples or problems that you were not sure of.

Classes are described in reverse time order.

Class 38 (F 11/20): read 7.3 for M 11/30; do problems on 11/20 handout, which gives another method for introducing the exponential function.  (Problem [1] makes use of the ratio test for absolute convergence of series.)

Class 27 (M 10/26): read DW pages 341 and 345 for W 10/28; do DW, chap. 17 # 4, 5, 6, 11, 12; and R chap. 6, # 1, 2.

Class 26 (F 10/23): read DW pages 339-340 for M 10/26.

Reference for the next 6 classes is chapter 17 of Fundamental Mathematics by D'Angelo and West; this covers the Riemann-Darboux approach to defining an integral for bounded real-valued functions on a closed bounded interval.  Material from this chapter will be referred to as "DW" and the Rosenlicht text will be referred to as "R".
