About Me: I'm a first year math major from Nevada. I enjoy playing guitar and running.

Course Notes

• Overview of Course
• Discussed natural numbers, integers, and rationals
• Problem with rationals: has holes which prevent us from getting sharp bounds on subsets
• Exercises

• Rational Zeros Theorem
• Construction of $\R$ from $\Q$: Dedekind Cuts vs. Cauchy Sequences
• Completeness Axiom + Archimedean Property for $\R$
• Definition of limits/convergence for sequences

• Showed Convergence Sequences are bounded.
• Defined operations on convergent sequences.
• Showed some useful limits.

• Monotone Sequences
• Recursive Definition of Sequences
• lim inf and lim sup of a Sequence

• Cauchy sequences
• Cauchy sequences always converge in $\R$
• Subseqeunces
• Cantor's Diagonal trick to produce a convergent subsequence

• All sequences have a monotone subsequence
• All bounded sequences have a convergent (monotone) subsequence
• If $S$ is the set of subsequential limits of $s_n$, then sup$S$ = limsup$s_n$ and inf$S$ = liminf$s_n$

• Hw 1
• Hw 2
• Hw 3
