Welcome to Math 142A (Lecture C, Fall 2021)

This page supplements materials to ``Introduction to Analysis I''

As one can imagine, analysis is about reasoning in basic (fundamental) terms. As such this class involves a valuable amount of mathematical proofs. One may use the materials as a prerequisite for advancing further in math (for instance, M142B) or to venture into computational directions (for instance, numerical analysis)

Memo to the student:

Remember, this class is here to help succeed in learning the subject.

  • Homework problems will help prepare for Quiz, Midterm and Final questions
  • •Being active in Lecture, Discussion and office hours will help to learn
  • •Ask for help when feeling stuck

Instructions (homework):

• Total of 9 HW sets. Cumulative HW grade based on the best 8 out of 9.
HW 1 -- 8 submitted to Gradescope by Friday 11:00 pm Pacific Time.
(Note: To be prepared for unforeseen technical difficulties, we will accept homework submitted within 24 hours from the due date, i.e., Saturday 11:00 pm, without a penalty.)
HW 9 submitted to Gradescope by Tues. November 30, 11:00 pm Pacific Time.
(Note: To be prepared for unforeseen technical difficulties, we will accept homework submitted within 24 hours from the due date, i.e., Wed. December 1, 11:00 pm, without a penalty.)
• Please write your section number on your homework.
• In view of the above arrangement, NO late homework will be accepted.
• You can work with classmates, but need to write down your own version. Copying solutions from others is not accepted and is considered cheating.
• A good portion of the exams will be based on the weekly problems. So it is extremely important for you to make sure that you understand each one of them.


Notes:

Please notice that outside factors, including the need for a certain grade for admission/retention in any academic program, scholarship or transfer credit, graduation requirements or personal desire for a specific grade DO NOT appear in the determination of course grades. Effort, improvement, class attendance and participation will all dramatically improve your grade in the course in that they will allow you to do well on exams, and the final exam. They will NOT, however, actively participate in the calculation of course grades.

Accommodations: Students requesting accommodations and services due to a disability for this course are asked to provide a current Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter issued by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD), prior to eligibility for requests. Receipt of AFAs in advance is necessary for appropriate planning for the provision of reasonable accommodations. OSD Academic Liaisons also need to receive current AFA letters. Students can find department-specific information on exam accommodations on the following Math Department webpage: http://www.math.ucsd.edu/programs/undergraduate/exam_accommodations.php

    Academic Dishonesty:  Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at UCSD.  Students caught cheating will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or expulsion from the university.  It is in the student's very best interest to maintain academic integrity.
