This course covers material in first and second semester calculus, but it is intended to teach math majors to write and understand proofs in mathematics, in general, and in calculus, in particular. The course will have an emphasis on practicing and understanding mathematical proofs, whilst interacting with classmates and your instructor. Learning LaTeX will also be a part of this course.

Prerequisites: Math 234, graduate/professional standing, or member of the Pre-Masters Mathematics (Visiting International) Program

Textbook: This course will predominately follow the first 14 chapters of the fourth edition of Calculus, by Michael Spivak.

Software: The use of LaTeX will be required to typeset homework in this course. students are expected to use Overleaf or some alternative LaTeX editor (my recommendations are available on request). Homework templates and guides will be made available on the Canvas page.

Other material: Handwritten class notes, solutions to homework and exams, and other material will be posted on the Canvas page.
