Prerequisite: Math 1720 or equivalent

Book: Analysis With an Introduction to Proof by Steven R. Lay (4th Edition)

Professor: Neal Brand

Office:    GAB 417B  M 9-10,  T 2-3:30,  W 1:30-3:00, Th 11-12. 
Please use these hours to ask questions of your instructor.  Do not just drop in at other times since your instructor will most likely be busy with other responsibilities.  If you need to see your instructor at another time, make an appointment in advance.

Grading: Grades are based on three regular exams, homework, quizzes, a notebook and a final. The homework is worth a total of 100 points, each exam is worth 100 points, the quizzes are worth a total or 100 points, the notebook is worth 100 points, and the final is worth 200 points.  This gives you a total of 800 possible points. To earn an A it is sufficient to make a total of 720 points, 640 for a B, 560 for a C, and 480 for a D.   In order to pass the course, you are also required to complete the on-line course evaluation.

Course Evaluation:  The site http://evaluate.unt.edu will be open later in the semester for you to evaluate the course (dates to be announced later).  You are required to go to this web site and complete an evaluation of the course sometime during the open period.  The evaluation could take you 10 minutes or less if you just answer the multiple choice questions.  If you wish to make specific comments about the course, the book, the instructor or anything else related to this class, you will have the opportunity to type in comments.  Although your instructor will receive a list of who completed the evaluation forms before grades are turned in, he will not receive any other information about the evaluations until after the grades are turned in.  Your instructor will receive no information that would link you to your specific answers or comments.  The mathematics department takes your course evaluation input very seriously.

Homework: Homework will be assigned from the book and handouts. The assignments will be posted on the web. You are expected to turn in neatly written homework.  If the grader has trouble reading the homework, then the homework will be returned with a zero. 

Exams:  The exams will be in class and most likely they will be given on February 16,  April 1 and April 29.  The final exam is scheduled for Wednesday May 13 at 10:30.

Web Page: From the UNT home page follow through the links through the College of Arts and Sciences, the Mathematics Department and Neal Brand's home page to find the Math 3510 home page. You will find homework assignments, and other information concerning this class at that site. The URL is http://www.math.unt.edu/~brand/CLASS/2510/Spring2009_002/2510.htm.

Extra Credit: Do not expect to be able to do extra credit work to help your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be no extra credit for this course other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam. Please do not ask for extra credit work to help your grade. Your best bet to help your grade is to do the required work at the time it is assigned.

Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with certified disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office.

Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Cheating includes receiving help from anyone or anything that is not specifically allowed on an exam or final. For example, calculators are not allowed on exams and using one would constitute cheating.  On the other hand, you are encouraged to work together on the regular homework assignments as long as everyone participates and no one just copies the answers. Anyone caught cheating will receive an F for the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean. I expect no cheating in this class.

Last Comment: Anything on this syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
