This is the best way to contact me. Please include 3406

Georgia Tech address: this would ensure your message
won't end up in the spam folder, and besides,
I shall not discuss more private matters, such as grades,

Lectures: TR 1:30-2:45pm Skiles 156.
Prerequisites: MATH 4317.
Textbook: Introduction to Analysis by Maxwell Rosenlicht.
Content and Course Objectives: The course will develop the theory of differentiation
and integration of real valued functions on the Euclidean space (covering
chapters 27-33, 38-45 of Bartle).
The course is proof-based and its primary objective is to give students a firm grip on
rigorous real analysis. In addition to being intellectually satisfying (at last we learn
the reasons for all the calculus facts!) MATH 4318 is a bridge to graduate courses
in analysis, differential geometry/topology, and dynamics.
Grading:
- Homework is worth 40% of the final grade, two midterms 15% each, the cumulative final 30%.
No test or homework score will be dropped.
- Grading scale: A=85%, B=70%, C=55%, D=45%.
- All grades will be recorded in Canvas.
- Grades will not be "curved", that is, performance of your
fellow students will have no affect on your grades.
There is no set quota for the number of A's, B's etc, in particular,
it is possible in theory that everybody will get an A.
Homework:
- Homework will be assigned weakly and distributed via email.
It will be collected in class every Thursday.
- No late homework will be accepted unless in emergency
or by prior arrangement.
- Working on homework in groups is encouraged.
- Any outside help must be acknowledged in writing, e.g.,
if you find a solution online or somebody shows you the solution, you need to mention the fact
in the submitted solutions.
Tests (all in Skiles 156):
-
There will be two midterms
on September 27th (Thursday) and November 15th (Thursday).
- The cumulative Final is on December 10th, Monday, 2:40-5:30pm.
- Doing homework, digesting past homework solutions, and asking lots of
questions is the best way to prepare for tests.
- All tests are closed-book and closed-notes. A one-page (two-sided if needed)
"help sheet" will be allowed on midterms; you may write/type anything there.
A three-page "help sheet" (again, two-sided) is allowed on the final.
- No electronics
(such as calculators, computers, mobile devices, headphones) are allowed on tests.
- There will be no makeup tests. If your reason
for missing a test seems valid to me,
then the corresponding part of the final will be given a higher weight;
to arrange for that you must contact me as soon as possible.
With rare exceptions acceptable reasons for missing a test
are limited to illness, court appearance, and taking part in Georgia Tech events.
Piazza: once the dust settles there will be a Piazza group for this course.
Random thoughts on how to do well in this course:
- Do all homework! Make sure you eventually know the correct solutions.
- Attend lectures and read Bartle's book.
- Do not hesitate to ask questions in class or via email, come to the office hours etc.
Please report all cheating
to the instructor, and do so promptly. See
the Georgia Tech Honor Code
for your rights and obligations.
-
What constitutes cheating on a test?
Examples are use of unauthorized materials, use of electronic devices,
and getting outside help including talking, and looking in other
students' papers.
-
What constitutes cheating on homework?
Not acknowledging outside help, be that from a person or an online resource.
How to get help: any concerns should be promptly discussed with
the instructor. All feedback on teaching and administrative issues is appreciated.
