Home, 1/11 (last update, belated)

The course is over, the final grades are in! You may view all the course statistics, including final grades, on the "scores and docs" page. All the exams are available there as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this course, and I hope most of you did, too. Special thanks go to students who were active in class - your participation keeps the class lively, lets me keep track of what problems you are having and makes my work easier!

Hope your break was good and that you have a good spring semester!

Exam 3 turned out pretty poorly. Either everyone is having a hard time with the material, or did not have time to prepare. In any case, everyone could use some more review of measure theory, especially in light of MAT 726, which some of you will take.

Therefore, I have decided to have the final exam only over measure theory, sections 2.1-2.6 in the book.So, it will be something of a redo of exam 3. Test knowledge will be the test knowledge that comes from sections 2.1-2.6. To start studying for the exam, make sure you know how to do all the problems on exam 3, as the final will be similar. I may take away some "popular" problems, or add some new ones. The final exam will be on Friday at 2:30 in our usual classroom.

Office hours for next week are:

Monday: 1:00-4:00
Tuesday: 2:00-4:00
Wednesday: 11:00-4:00
Thursday: 10:00-1:30
Friday: 10:00-2:30

Good luck on final exams!

Exam 3, covering sections 2.3-2.6, is scheduled for Friday, 12/4 at 2:30 in our usual classroom. Homework for section 2.5 and 2.6 and test knowledge has been posted (note that a couple of items in test knowledge refer back to some essential things in 2.1 and 2.2).

Hope you are having a lovely Thanksgiving!

Home, 10/30

Homework for sections 2.1 and 2.2 is posted - we will discuss both on Tuesday. Note that homework for 2.1 includes some more problems from section 1.4 (on the Problem Farm sheet), since I felt that you could use more problems about the material in the section.

Exam 2, covering 1.3, 1.4, 2.1 and 2.2 is scheduled for Tuesday of week after next (11/10) - we'll plan on a review session on the preceding Monday.
