I'll put comments- assignments, things missed in class, etc. on this link. Probably you should check a couple times each week to see if anything is added.

Hints on some HW prob's: for 1b, try to find a number B so that x_n < B / n for all n. (THen base your M on this inequality.) For 2a, it might be best to apply the Squeeze lemma to a tail of the sequence for which the sequence is bounded above and below by sequences of the form C/n. Here are some practice exam problems Practice Exam 1 You can include these with the practice problems for Wednesday next week. |

PP's for Friday March 13: 3.2: 5 (consider a sequence going to 0), 12 (consider delta=12), 14(consider left and right limits); 3.3: 1,2,3, 10, 11, 14, 3.4: 4 Our class for Monday March 23 will be an online class. HW 4 is due at the beginning of that class. Options to turn in the HW are 1) put it under my door (494 Carver) anytime before class; 2) make a high quality .pdf file of your homework by scanning it and email it to me. If you email it, it should be in 1 file not many separate files. I would greatly prefer you do NOT send screenshots of your HW since those usually come in separate files and often are difficult to read.
Since several people could not attend class the week before Spring break, I rewrote some of the lecture notes sections 3.2, 3.3 and part of 3.4 |
