Please see the course syllabus ( http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~kmortens/347/syllabus.html ) for information about what will be covered on each exam.
Problem sets:
Problem sets will be due once a week, usually on Wednesdays.
You can find the problem sets assigned so far at http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~kmortens/347/homework.html
. You may work with others on the problem sets if you wish.
However, each person should write up the solutions on their own; to do
otherwise will be considered plagiarism.
Problem sets will be graded and returned to you and will count as part of your course grade.
I normally do not accept late problem sets. If you cannot turn in a problem set on time due to some very unusual circumstances. please contact me as soon as possible.
Office hours: I am happy to meet with you in my office to discuss course material. During my regular office hours, you can just drop in without an appointment. I can also meet you at other times - please make an appointment to do so. I am normally on campus between 9:00 and 3:00 every weekday.
I am glad to discuss homework problems with you during office hours. However, I will expect you to have made a good effort to do the problem ahead of time and to bring your scratch work with you.
Calculators: Because the material in this course is theoretical rather than computational, a calculator is not necessary. You may use a calculator for homework and exams if you wish. Calculators may not be shared during exams.
Course grade: Your course grade will be determined
as follows:
Exam #1
15%
Exam #2
15%
Exam #3
15%
Final Exam 30%
Homework 25%
344 vs. 347: A student may not receive credit for both Math 344 and Math 347. Both are courses in elementary real analysis, that is, the theory of calculus. Math 347 differs from Math 344 in that it treats the calculus of several real variables in addition to the calculus of one real variable and it covers the basics of metric topology. Math 347 moves at a somewhat faster pace than does Math 344. Math 347 is appropriate for those who wish to pursue graduate study in mathematics or a related field and for others who desire to study real analysis at this level.
