Mathematics 321, Section 201

Real Variables II

Department of Mathematics,  University of British Columbia

Prerequisite: MATH 320

Instructor

Joel Feldman

Text

• Walter Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis, third edition.

I will post all handouts, problem sets, etc. on the web here.

Topics

1. The Riemann-Stieltjes integral (§6)
2. Sequences and Series of Functions (§7)
3. Power Series, Special Functions and Fourier Series (§8)
4. a supplementary topic like Integration of Differential Forms (§10)

Grading

• There will be one midterm (tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, February 27) accounting for about 25% of the final mark.
• There will be weekly problem sets accounting for about 25% of the final mark.
• The final exam will account for about 50% of the final mark.
• Grades will probably be scaled.

Policies

• The midterm and final examination will be strictly closed book: no formula sheets or calculators will be allowed.
• There is no supplemental examination in this course.
• Missing a homework or midterm normally results in a mark of 0. Exceptions may be granted in two cases: prior consent of the instructor or a medical emergency. In the latter case, the instructor must be notified within 48 hours of the missed test, and presented with a doctor's note immediately upon the student's return to UBC.
