Schedule

The schedule below is a record of what we have actually done as well as an approximate projection of what we will do. Readings, homework assignments, and worksheets will be posted as they are assigned. Most homework problems will come from Basic Analysis: Introduction to Real Analysis by Jiří Lebl (freely available online; click on the title for a link). Homework sets are due by 4:00 PM on the date indicated. Harder problems are marked with a * and are counted separately from normal homework problems. You must complete at least 15 starred problems over the course of the semester.
