Honors Analysis II |
Office Hours:
Held in Krieger 313.
Section: Fri. 10:30am, in Hodson 303.
The TA is Reza Seyyedali.
Textbook:
Real Analysis by Neal Carothers,
Cambridge University. Math 415 covered the first half of this book (Chapters 1-11). We will
attempt to cover the second half, with some exceptions and amendments.
Major topics to be addressed include:
Grading:
25% Homework, 40% Midterm Exams,
35% Final Exam.
Homework: The course syllabus and a complete list of homework assignments is available here. Homework assignments are due in lecture on Monday. Late homeworks will not be accepted without a valid explanation in advance. You are permitted, perhaps encouraged, to discuss homework problems with other students. This collaboration should not extend to the process of writing up solutions. The work that you turn in should be written by you, in your own words, without supervision or other well-meaning influence from anyone else.
Please Note:
The final exam will be given in a take-home format. Unlike the homework
assignments, active collaboration (e.g. discussing problems, reviewing the
textbook and/or class notes together) is not permitted. Further instructions
will be given at the end of the course, and on the exam paper itself.
Midterm Exams: In class on Tuesday, Feb. 13; and Wednesday, April 4. Final Exam: Take-home final due in my office by 5:00pm on Friday, May 4. You are expected to attend class and take exams as they are scheduled.
Unexcused absence from the midterm exam carries a penalty of one full letter
grade reduction from your final course grade. Students who miss the final
exam, without a valid and well-documented explanation will automatically
fail the course.
Medical Contingencies: Missed midterm exams will not be made up; the remaining homework and final exam will be given correspondingly more weight to take up the slack. In order to do this, I must receive written confirmation of the severity of your illness, and preferably a letter from the Dean's office requesting special consideration. The Student Health Center recently adopted new guidelines for the issuance of written Medical Excuses. Please read this memorandum for more information. A one-sentence summary is that the Health Center will now only document serious and/or prolonged illnesses for which they have actively provided treatment. Students with disabilities requiring accommodation should notify me
as soon as possible so that we can make the appropriate arrangements.
Ethics Statement: Cheating is wrong. Cheating hurts our community by undermining academic integrity, creating mistrust, and fostering unfair competition. The university will punish cheaters with failure on an assignment, failure in a course, permanent transcript notation, suspension, and/or expulsion. Offenses may be reported to medical, law, or other professional or graduate schools when a cheater applies. Violations can include cheating on exams, plagiarism, reuse of assignments without permission, improper use of the Internet and electronic devices unauthorized collaboration, alteration of graded assignments, forgery and falsification, lying, facilitating academic dishonesty, and unfair competition. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse. In this course you may collaborate with other students while attempting to
solve homework problems, but only under the guidelines described above.
Your work on any
exam, whether in class or take-home, must be entirely your own. If you are
having difficulty with a particular exam question, it is permissible to ask
the instructor (but no-one else) for clarification.
