(August 4, 2004)

There is a correction on the Final Exam. Problem 7(c) should read f'(x) + f(x)g'(x) = 0.

(July 29, 2004)

Do not do problem 33.9. Instead, do problem 33.5.

(July 11, 2004)

For Exercise 11.2 in Homework 5, do not worry about part (c). In this course we won't talk about lim sup, or lim inf.

(July 6, 2004)

Homework 4 will be due on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Likewise, the Quiz will be on Thursday as well.

Matt Clay will be tutoring for this class on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 12:00 and on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 3:00, in room 152 of the Math Center. He said that those of you who can't make these times can get together and agree on a time you can attend, and he will try to fit it into his schedule. Feel free to use the discussion email list for that purpose.

If you haven't been attending class then you might not know that the Midterm has been cancelled. We will just use quizzes instead.

(June 21, 2004)

Homework 2 will be due on WEDNESDAY not Tuesday. The Quiz will be on Wednesday as well. Hopefully, next week we will be back on the Tuesday schedule. I am considering postponing the Midterm Exam until Wednesday, July 7.

I have created a mailing list for the class. The intent of this email list is to allow students to ask each other questions concerning the homework or the lecture material, as well as set up study groups. Most of you have been automatically subscribed to this list. To subscribe/unsubscribe to the list or to see archives of previous messages, visit http://www.math.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/3210.1 The email address for the list is 3210.1@math.utah.edu.

The Math Tutoring Center also has a couple of books you may want to check out. I haven't read through them carefully, but they have chapters relating to the material we are covering:
Introduction of Real Analysis by Schramm.
The Mathematical Method by Eisenberg. This one has some material on Sets, Relations, and Functions; mostly in the appendicies.


(June 15, 2004)

Starting next Tuesday, we will have weekly quizzes on the days when Homework is due. These quizzes will ask you to state definitions and/or theorems, but I probably won't ask you to prove anything.

Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, June 16, 2004), the textbook by Steven Lay (which I have been lecturing out of) will be available on reserve in the MATH library. The math library is located on the bottom floor of JWB, right next to the glass door leading into the Math Center. The book will be available to you in one-hour increments.
