MAT 288E - Real Analysis I

Course Objectives

1. To teach the student the techniques and methods of Mathematical Analysis and to allow the student to develop a certain level of proficiency in these methods.
2. To teach students to use the basic concepts they learned in Calculus classes in a mathematically rigourous way.
