Textbook: Real Analysis by N.L. Carothers., Cambridge University Press, 2000.
(Plan to cover Chapters 13-19, and selected topics to be updated along lectures.)
Grading Policy: homework (50%), midterm exams (20%) and a final (30%).
There will be no make-up exams. For excused absences, the grade for a missed exam will be calculated based on your
performance on the future exams. In order to do this, I must receive written confirmation of the severity of your illness (The Health Center will provide students with verification of their visit if they are seen for a serious or extended illness that causes them to miss a number of classes over several days or major academic assignments, such as mid-term examinations or major presentations. Such verification will not be provided retroactively). Unexcused absences count as zero.
Academic Support: Besides attending the lectures and
the recitation sections I encourage you to use the following
opportunities for additional academic support:
JHU Ethics Statement: The strength of the university
depends on academic and personal integrity. In this course, you
must be honest and truthful. Cheating is wrong. Cheating hurts our
community by undermining academic integrity, creating mistrust,
and fostering unfair competition. The university will punish
cheaters with failure on an assignment, failure in a course,
permanent transcript notation, suspension, and/or expulsion.
Offenses may be reported to medical, law, or other professional or
graduate schools when a cheater applies.
Violations can include cheating on exams, plagiarism, reuse of assignments without permission, improper use of the internet and electronic devices, unauthorized collaboration, alteration of graded assignments, forgery and falsification, lying, facilitating academic dishonesty, and unfair competition. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse.
In this course, as in many math courses, working in groups to study particular problems and discuss theory is strongly encouraged. Your ability to talk mathematics is of particular importance to your general understanding of mathematics. You should collaborate with other students in this course on the general construction of homework assignment problems. However, you must write up the solutions to these homework problems individually and separately. If there is any question as to what this statement means, please ask the instructor.
Report any violations you witness to the instructor. You may consult the associate dean of student conduct (or designee) by calling the Office of the Dean of Students at 410-516-8208 or via email at integrity@jhu.edu. For more information, see the Homewood Student Affairs site on academic ethics: (https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/student-life/student-conduct/academic-ethics- undergraduates).
For more information, see the Undergraduate Ethics Board web site.
Special accommodations for disability: Any student with a disability who may need accommodations in this class must obtain an accommodation letter from Student Disability Services, 103 Shaffer, (410) 516-4720, studentdisabilityservices@jhu.edu. I will need to have received confirmation from the Office of Academic Advising. To arrange for testing accommodations please remind me at least 7 days before each of the midterms or final exam by email.
