Notes

  1. The numbers in the reading column correspond to the chapters in Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus by Kenneth Ross.
  2. Numbers in the reading column with “Ru” before them correspond to chapters in Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin. This book will be used to supplement the material in the main textbook. However, it is not necessary for you to have a copy of this, and all relevant information will be presented in the lectures.
  3. The lectures on April 16th and April 18th will be given by Benjamin Stamm.
