Math 423 — Introduction to Real Analysis I
Fall 2018

Instructor: Elizabeth Meckes

Office: Yost 208

Phone: 368-5015

Email: ese3 [at] cwru.edu

Office Hours: T 1-2:15, F 10-11:15

Textbook:

Real Analysis, 2e by Gerald Folland

Topics:

Please read the Prologue on your own. We will cover through most of chapters 1 – 3 and some of chapter 4, as time allows.

Grading:

I expect you to attend the lectures, take notes (much of the material is not in the text), and read the text book on the topics we cover from it. There will be weekly homework assignments (worth 70% of the grade) and one final (worth 30%). Selected homework problems will be graded.

Homework Problems:

As you presumably know by now, mathematics is not a spectator sport. The lectures and the book are there to get you started, but real understanding comes through working with the ideas, which is what homework is for. You are welcome to discuss the problems with each other or with me in office hours, although you must write up solutions on your own. All solutions must be typeset with LaTeX; if you need help getting started, please let me know.

I will post homework problems below as soon as we have covered enough material in order to do them. I strongly suggest doing the homework the same day as the corresponding lecture. Homework will be collected weekly.

Assignments: Problems below are from Folland.
