Purpose: The purpose of this course is to revisit the essential issues of the calculus: sequences, limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, and series, placing them on a rigorous foundation based on definition, theorem, and proof. To accomplish this goal, every exercise will involve the method of formal mathematical proof; no computational or practical examples need be expected. Ultimately we believe the clarity and precision of rigorous, analytic proofs train and discipline our thinking in a way that leads toward a more beautiful mind.

Homework: Homework will be assigned each day for your development toward mastering the material, and will be due two class periods later. Each will be worth 30 points. I will drop your four (4) lowest homework scores before calculating your overall homework grade. Homework that is turned in should be neat and organized. You will not only be graded on correct answers but also on the neatness, organization, steps used to derive your answers, and the use of correct English grammar and complete sentences.

Exams: There will be three (3) unit exams, plus the final exam.

Grading: Points                  Scale
Homework 200 A 90%--100%
Exams(3) 300 B 80%--89%
Final Exam 200 C 70%--79%
D 60%--69%
F Below 60%
