Introduction to Analysis I

310 INTRODUCTION TO ANALYSIS I (3+0) 3 credits

An examination of the theory of calculus of functions of one-variable with emphasis on rigorously proving theorems about real numbers, convergence, continuity, differentiation and integration. Prereq(s): MATH 283.

Mathematics 310 is the first course in the UNR mathematics curriculum where the emphasis is on mathematical proof and reasoning. This course focuses on a rigorous justification of the topics covered in Mathematics 181-283 and provides a stepping stone to higher-level mathematics. There will be homework assignments and quizzes weekly. Mathematical proofs should be carefully written using complete English sentences, proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. This is a hard course.
