Course content:
Presents the basic notions of analysis, e.g., limits, lim sup and lim inf, continuity, and the topology of the real line; develops the  theory of Lebesgue measure and the Lebesgue integral on the line, emphasizing the various notions of convergence and the standard convergence theorems. Applications are made to the classical Lp spaces.

Enrollment questions: 
Please see the registrar's web page, or call their office. 
If you still have problems, then please see Tiffany (MATH office) if this is truly an enrollment question, and Barbara if this is more like a graduate studies question.

Grading:
Your grade will be based on your two midterms (each 25%) and on the final (50%). I will give you practice problems regularly. I will not grade them, but I will provide the solutions, and the questions in the exams will be taken form these practice problems (except perhaps a few warm up YES/NO questions).

Grading cutoffs:
(I. e. how I will convert your final numerical grade, expressed as a percentage, into a letter grade.)

A: 90-100

A-: 80-89

B+: 77-79

B: 73-76

B-: 70-72

C+: 62-69

C: 55-61

C-: 50-54

Inadequate: 49 or lower.
Exam Schedule:
Midterms: Wednesday, October 3 (closed books/notes)
                   Monday, November 5 (closed books/notes)
                   (in class)  SOLUTIONS
Final exam: Friday, December 14 (last class, in classroom; closed book/notes)
The final is exactly as long as a midterm. However its scope is much larger because it is cumulative.



Practice Homework (see “Grading” above): 
(Numbers refer to Royden's book, 4th edition.) 

I strongly recommend you solve the problems on your own before opening the solutions.

SOME IMPORTANT CU POLICIES

(1) If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner (for exam accommodations provide your letter at least one week prior to the exam) so that
your needs can be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact Disability Services at 303-492-8671
or by e-mail at dsinfo@colorado.edu.

If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, see Temporary Medical Conditions: Injuries, Surgeries, and Illnesses guidelines under Quick Links at
Disability Services website and discuss your needs with me.

(2) Campus policy regarding religious observances states
that faculty must make reasonable accommodation for them and in so doing, be careful not to inhibit or penalize those students who are exercising their rights to religious observance. I am aware that a given religious holiday may be observed with very different levels of attentiveness by different members of the same religious group and thus may require careful
consideration to the particulars of each individual case.  For guidelines, see
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html

If you have questions about the rules with regard to religious accommodations, please contact the Office of Discrimination and Harassment at 303-492-2797.

A comprehensive calendar of the religious holidays most commonly observed by CU-Boulder students is at 
http://www.interfaithcalendar.org/

Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of
religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance.  
See full details at 
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html

(3)  Students should be aware of the campus "Classroom Behavior" policy at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html as well as faculty rights and responsibilities listed at
http://www.colorado.edu/FacultyStaff/faculty-booklet.html#Part_1
These documents describe examples of unacceptable classroom behavior and provide information on how to handle such circumstances should they arise.

Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may
be subject to discipline. 

I will follow the guidelines stating that “professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of
race, color, culture, religion, creed, politics, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and gender expression, age, disability, and nationalities.”  

Class rosters are provided to me with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in
the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to my records.  See policies at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html   and at
http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code


(4)  The University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) is committed to maintaining a positive learning, working, and living environment. The University of Colorado
does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status in admission and access to, and treatment and employment in, its educational programs and
activities. (Regent Law, Article 10, amended 11/8/2001).  

CU-Boulder will not tolerate acts of discrimination or harassment based upon Protected Classes or related retaliation against or by any employee or student. For purposes of this CU-Boulder policy, "Protected Classes" refers to race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy,  age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender
identity, gender expression,  or veteran status.  Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against should contact the Office of Discrimination and
Harassment (ODH) at 303-492-2127 or the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) at 303-492-5550.  Information about the ODH, the above referenced policies, and
the campus resources available to assist individuals regarding discrimination or harassment can be obtained at 
http://www.colorado.edu/odh

(5)  All students of the University of Colorado at Boulder are responsible for knowing and adhering to the 
academic integrity policy of this institution.
Violations of this policy may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery, and threatening behavior.  
All incidents of academic misconduct shall be reported to the Honor Code Council
(honor@colorado.edu; 303-735-2273). Students who are found to be in violation
of the academic integrity policy will be subject to both academic sanctions
from the faculty member and non-academic sanctions (including but not limited to university probation, suspension, or expulsion). Other information on the Honor Code can be found at 
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/honor.html  and at
