PREREQUISITES: MAA 4200.
CONTENT: Rigorous development of the key concepts and theorems of integral calculus. Topics include the Riemann integral and its properties, a restatement of the key concepts of the real analysis in the context of metric spaces and function spaces and an introduction to measure theory and the Lebesgue integral.
CLASS STRUCTURE: The class will be mostly run in a lecture style format though the instructor encourages discussions and questions concerning the material. Some days will be used for collaborative efforts. Though the homework will only occassionally be collected and graded, the student is expected to do all the problems as this will aid in the student's understanding of the material. Please feel free to come to office hours if you have additional questions about the homework.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Regular attendance is expected. If a student misses a class meeting it is his/her responsibility to obtain the class notes either from another student or from the instructor during regularly scheduled office hours. However, the latter usually means the student will be given the sections that were covered. If a student misses 4 classes, the instructor has the right to drop the student's course grade by one letter grade. If a student misses 8 classes, the instructor has the right to drop the student's course grade by two letter grades, etc. All exams will be taken as scheduled, unless prior arrangements are made with at least 48 hours of advance notice. I, and only I, have the right to agree to giving a makeup exam.
EXAM SCHEDULE: There will be some quizzes (announced or unannounced), a midterm and a final examination. The tests and final will take place during the regurlarly scheduled class time on the following dates unless otherwise noted.
| Date | Day | Event |
|---|---|---|
| February 26th | Thursday | Midterm Exam |
| April 23rd | Thursday 10:30am-1:00pm | Final Exam |
EVALUATION: Throughout the course the student will have opportunities to gain and lose points.
The most common examples of gaining points (but not limited to) are through the quizzes, homework problems, tests, final exams,
extra-credit problems, board presentations, and class participation.
The most common examples of losing points (but not limited to) are not taking a quiz, test, or final, or an unsatisfactory attendance record. At the end of the semester if the student's (net) point total is greater than or equal to
90% of the total possible number of points then the student will have earned an A. The rest of the grades are as follows 80%-89.9% B,
70%-79.9% C, 60%-69.9% D, below 60% F. The cutoffs for plusses and minuses are standard.
If a student misses 4 classes, the instructor has the right to drop the student's course grade by one letter grade.
If a student misses 8 classes, the instructor has the right to drop the student's course grade by two letter grades, etc.
For a general sense of the course (this is an approximation): quizzes 5%, homework 5%, midterm exam 35%, final 45%, others 10%
