Introduction to Analysis I

310 INTRODUCTION TO ANALYSIS I (3+0) 3 credits

An examination of the theory of calculus of functions of one-variable with emphasis on rigorously proving theorems about real numbers, convergence, continuity, differentiation and integration. Prereq(s): MATH 283.

Mathematics 310 is the first course in the UNR mathematics curriculum where the emphasis is on mathematical proof and reasoning. This course focuses on a rigorous justification of the topics covered in Mathematics 181-283 and provides a stepping stone to higher-level mathematics. There will be homework assignments and quizzes weekly. Mathematical proofs should be carefully written using complete English sentences, proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. This is a hard course.

Final Exam

The final exam will be held for The exams for each section will be different. You must go to the final exam corresponding to the section you are enrolled in.

Equal Opportunity Statement

The Mathematics Department is committed to equal opportunity in education for all students, including those with documented physical disabilities or documented learning disabilities. University policy states that it is the responsibility of students with documented disabilities to contact instructors during the first week of each semester to discuss appropriate accommodations to ensure equity in grading, classroom experiences and outside assignments.

Academic Conduct

Bring your student identification to all exams. Work independently on all exams and quizzes. Behaviors inappropriate to test taking may disturb other students and will be considered cheating. Don't talk or pass notes with other students during an exam. Half of the quizzes will be open book/notes and focus on proofs; half will be closed book/notes and cover definitions and statements of theorems. Homework may be discussed freely. If you are unclear as to what constitutes cheating, please consult with me.
