the 9th of February)
Homework 4 with
Solutions
- Exam
1 (Exam 1 with Solutions)
- Summary
(Overview of the results we will establish)
[* We did not discuss
Lemma 11 - so non-examinable]
- Definition, Notation, and Examples
- A "Test for Divergence" and further
examples
- Series on non-negative terms
- Direct and Limit Comparison Tests
- Cauchy Condensation and variations on
p-series [* Proof
of "Cauchy Condensation" is
non-examinable]
- Ratio Test

26th of February)
Homework
5 with Solutions
- Series with both positive and negative
terms
- Alternating Series Test
- The notion of Absolute and Conditional
Convergence
- The Ratio and Root Tests
- Cauchy Criterion and proof that absolute
convergence implies convergence (two
proofs)
Homework
6 (Due Friday the
2nd of March)
Homework
6 with Solutions
- The Integral Test,
Euler's constant, and the sum of the
alternating harmonic series [* We
didn't discuss this - so
non-examinable]
- Rearrangements [* We
didn't discuss this - so
non-examinable]
- Power Series and Continuity
- Power Series
- Radius and Interval of Convergence
- Examples
- Sequential Characterization
- Operations with continuous functions
- Examples of discontinuous functions
Homework
7 (Due Friday
the 9th of March)
Homework 7 with
Solutions
- Exam
2 (Exam 1 with Solutions)
- Continuity and Differentiation
- Continuity and the Intermediate and
Extreme Value Theorems
- Functional Limits (including the
Sequential Characterization)
- Differentiation
- Interior Extrema Theorem
- Rolle's Theorem and the (Generalized)
Mean Value Theorem
- L'Hopital's Rule (only proved the "0/0"
case)
Homework
8 (Due Friday
the 6th of April)
Homework 8 with
Solutions
- Power Series and Taylor Series
- Power Series can be differentiated (and
integrated) term-by-term inside their radius
of convergence
[* Only the proof that the original and
differentiated series have the same radius
of convergence is examinable]
- Lagrangian Remainder Estimate for
Maclaurin Series and Applications
- Alternating Series Remainder Estimate
- Examples (including approximating the
derivative of a function)
Homework
9 (Due Friday the
13th of April)
