Math 424: Honors Real Analysis
Instructor Syllabus
Text: M. Rosenlicht, Introduction to Analysis, Dover.
Also, use chapter 17 of Fundamental Mathematics by D'Angelo and West for treatment of integration.
Continuity, compactness and completeness underlie much of modern mathematics and its applications. The course develops these concepts in the metric space setting, after which the fundamentals of calculus are rigorously established.
