MATH 301 Real Analysis I

This document outlines a 3 credit hour course in Real Analysis 1 taught by Masood Shah in the fall semester of 2011-2012 at LUMS. The course will cover fundamental concepts of real analysis including the real number system, sequences, series, limits, continuity, and differentiation over 28 lectures of 75 minutes each. Students will be evaluated based on quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final exam. The goals of the course are for students to understand key concepts of real analysis and learn to write proofs using epsilon-delta arguments.

Course outline Real Analysis 1

Math-301

Instructor: Masood Shah


Office: 131
Office Extension: 8019
Office Hours: TBA
Semester: Fall, 2011-12
Credit Hours: 3
Email: [email protected]

Lectures: 28 lectures of 75 minutes each. Two lectures per week. Midterm will be
conducted after 14 lectures.
Pre-requisites: Math 102 – Calculus - II
Required Text: Introduction to Real Analysis by R. G. Bartle and D. R. Sherbert
Reference Books: 1. Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin
2. Calculus by Michael Spivak

Course Description: This course will serve as a bridge between calculus and analysis.
In this course we will cover fundamental concepts such as limit, continuity, and
differentiation but with much more rigor than it is done in basic calculus courses. Main
topics include: The real number system, sequences and series, limits, continuous
functions, differentiation.

Goals: At the end of this course, students should have a better understanding of limit,
continuity, sequences, series, and differentiation concepts. They should have a good
training of how to understand/write proofs, execute  -  arguments. Moreover, this
course will prepare and motivate them to take higher level courses
