Syllabus | Notes | Assignments | Solutions | Grades
There will be 15 homework assignments, due each Tuesday at the start of class. Late homework will not be accepted, but the lowest three of your homework scores will be dropped. Students are encouraged to work together on the homework, but are required to write up and turn in the assignments individually. Be sure your papers are neat, labelled, and stapled before class; illegible or incomprehensible work will not get credit. Typically you will need to read, revise and re-write your solutions a few times before handing them in.
Put honest thought and effort into the homework: this is where the most learning takes place. Copying solutions -- or even looking at someone else's solutions before thinking about your own -- seriously detracts from the value of the exercise. Turning in a version of one of my solutions is especially bad form.
We will have two in-class midterm exams, and a comprehensive final exam, according to the following schedule.
| Exam 1 | Thursday, September 29 |
| Exam 2 | Thursday, November 10 |
| Final Exam | To Be Announced |
The final exam also serves as the first half of the graduate program's qualifying exam in Real Analysis. However, the use of the final exam in determining final grades for this course is independent of its use by the graduate program.
Homework problems are graded out of 6 points, as described below. Notice that a perfect score doesn't imply a perfect paper, and fully half credit is awarded simply for effort. Regardless of your score, it should be useful for you to compare your work with my solutions.
| 6 | Correct or basically correct. |
| 5 | Some minor problem is evident. |
| 4 | Part of the solution is correct, but a significant part is fundamentally flawed. |
| 3 | The entire solution is flawed, but an honest effort has been made. |
| 0 | No effort |
Final grades for this course will be assigned according to the following scheme:
| Homework | 30% |
| Exam 1 | 20% |
| Exam 2 | 20% |
| Final Exam | 30% |
A grade of incomplete will be awarded only in the event that a documented emergency or illness prevents a student who is doing acceptable work from completing a small percentage of the course requirements. The guidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade of incomplete will be strictly followed.
No late homework will be accepted. Make-up midterm exams will be given at the instructor's discretion and only in the case of a verified medical or other emergency, or a conflicting university-sanctioned activity. When possible, the instructor must be notified before the exam is missed, and adequate documentation must be provided before the make-up will be given. Students participating in university-sanctioned activities need to identify themselves prior to missing class and provide the instructor with a copy of their travel schedule before arrangements will be made to make up missed work.
Exceptions to the final exam schedule and requests for make-up finals cannot be granted by the instructor. Please refer to the Department of Mathematics final exam policy for details.
The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the University, or other sanctions as specfied in the University Student Academic Integrity Policy. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to: cheating, fabrication, tampering, plagiarism, or facilitating such activities. In particular, it is a violation to discuss an exam you have taken with a classmate who has not.
Use of the notes and homework and exam solutions is restricted to students currently enrolled in MAT 472. When you try to access them, you will be prompted for a "User ID" and a "Password". Use your last name (in capital letters, including spaces and hyphens if applicable) for the User ID, and use the last 3 digits of your ASU ID number for the Password. To view the solutions, you may need to install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
