My office hours will be 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, MWF, in MA438 (and by appointment also).

The final exam will be on Wednesday, August 27, from 3pm-6pm in MA 010.

Past weeks: Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8

Current week: Week 9 (week of August 18). Topic for the week: Sequences and Series of Functions (Kaczor and Nowak chapter 3), Integration (Berkeley chapter 1.5).

On Monday, August 18, we talked about the Dirichlet and Abel tests for uniform conververgence and solved the following problems in Kaczor and Nowak, V.2: 3.2.13 (in the process we derived the summation by parts formula), 3.2.26, 3.2.9 (an alternating series test for uniform convergence), 3.2.32, and 3.2.21. Next time we'll look at 3.2.40 and look at a few problems in chapter 3.3.

On Tuesday, August 19, we did problem 3.2.40 in Kaczor and Nowak, v.2, and Berkeley problems 1.5.3, 1.5.5.

On Wednesday, August 20, we did the following problems from the Berkeley book: 1.5.6, 1.5.24, 1.5.21 and 1.5.8. Here are solutions to problem set 6.

On Friday, August 22, we did Berkeley problem 1.5.11, Kaczor and Nowak V2. problem 3.2.20, and 3.3.14. We started problem 3.3.16 (and saw why the hypothesis n a_n -> 0 is essential!) but didn't finish it (next time).

On Monday, August 25, we did problem 3.3.16 from Kaczor and Nowak, v.2, and problem #1 from the Autumn, 99 exam.

On Tuesday August 26, we talked about the basics of convex functions and did problems 3.4.16, 2.4.14, and 2.4.3 from Kaczor and Nowak, v.2.

On Wednesday, August 27, we had the final exam (third mock exam). Here is the exam and solutions.
