Text: Real Analysis, Modern Techniques and their Applications, 2^nd edition, Folland, Wiley-Interscience, 1999.

Content: Chapters 1-3.

Grading Policy: In addition to the midterm and final, there will be weekly homework and a daily query. The midterm and homework will each count 30%, the final will count 35%, and the query will count 5%.

Homework: Homework is by far the most important aspect of this course. Ours is a beautiful and powerful subject, but there is a cost in sweat and tears to sharing in its delights. Immerse yourself in your work, be patient and persistent in your efforts, and do not settle for a passing acquaintance. Your rewards shall be myriad.

Academic Integrity: It is my opinion that there is hardly any human act more satisfying or important than the sharing of knowledge. I therefore consider the classroom and the university at large to be hallowed ground, well deserving of all the humility and respect that we would afford our other most sacred places.

Please refer to the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism found in the Campus Administration Manual, Section 684.

In short: be sensible, respectful, and mindful of the integrity of the system we are all so lucky to share.
