What we are trying to avoid...
Math 421 is a preparatory course for the 5XX-level courses in Analysis.
The course introduces students to the writing of proofs in general, and
of Calculus proofs in particular.
It does so by covering the topics usually found in first and second
semester Calculus courses, while teaching students to understand and write
proofs for the most relevant Theorems.
The course is intended for Math majors and it is labelled writing
intensive by the School of Letters and Science.
This course has a prerequisite of Math 234. You cannot take Math 421
for credit if you took the Honors Calculus sequence
