Welcome to Math 104, introduction to real analysis. We plan to cover the following topics:
The real number system. Sequences, limits, and continuous functions in R and R. The concept of a metric space. Uniform convergence, interchange of limit operations. Infinite series. Mean value theorem and applications. The Riemann integral.
I am planning to use two textbooks. Most likely, I will follow Ross and assign problems from it.
Here is a problem book with solutions. The scope of this book does not exactly match with this course, which follows closely with Rudin.
I will be teaching two sections, at Tuesday and Thursday 9:30 - 11:00 (section 5) and 12:30 - 14:00 (section 6). You can attend either of the lectures, they are supposedly to be the same. ( We are going to use 'Berkeley time', so the actual lecture starts at 10 minutes later. )
A tentative grading policy: 20% homework, two midterms each 20%, and final (accumulative) 40%. If you didn't do well in one of the midterm, you have the option to drop it, and final will have a 60% weight. The lowest homework grades will be dropped.
Midterms (Feb 18, Apr 1) and final (May 12 or 13) will be done through gradescope. Midterm will be 90 minutes, and final will be 3 hours. 10 minutes extra will be given for scanning and uploading. If you are in a different time zone and prefer an alternative time slot, please contact me in advance.
There will be weekly homework, to be submitted on gradescope. Entry code is BPKBXR
Time: By appointment (everyday after 9pm, or Wednesday 1-2pm, Friday morning 9-12noon)

We also have a GSI (Graduate Student Instructor) Rahul Dalal, he is available at 10:30-12:30 M, 11am-1pm WF and 5:30p-7:30p TuTh. zoom link 96793003738 and the password is epsilon.
A faster way to communicate is through online platform, we can do either
There are weekly homeworks, grades will be published the next Wednesday night. There is always a late due date, 24h after the normal due date, only for emergency use.
Here I put lecture video (valid for 30 days) and notes. 1 means section 9:30 and 2 means section 12:30. They are more or less the same. video will expire after 30 days . Videos can also be found on bcourse, which will not be deleted.
