Information Sheet



 
 
 
 

  1. My office is 422 Carver, and the phone number there is 294-8136; I can also be reached via e-mail at lieb@iastate.edu. (This is the best way to get in touch with me.) My office hours are 11:00-12:00 Monday through Friday. If you can't make these office hours, either make an appointment or take your chances. I'm usually in my office between 9 and 9:50 (I'll probably come earlier than that in May) and between 2 and 4 every day. This information sheet, along with up-to-date information, can be found at www.math.iastate.edu/lieb/414/info.html.
  2. The textbook for this course is An Introduction to Analysis , Second Edition by William R. Wade. We will cover Chapters 1 through 5 and part of Chapter 6.
  3. The course will be graded based on three in-class exams and weekly homework assignments. The three in-class exams are 45% of your grade and homework is 55%. Grades will be based on your total points. Approximate cut-offs are 88% = A, 77% = B, 66% = C, 55% = D. Adjustments to this scale (such as plus/minus grades) will be made at the instructor's discretion. (Realize that, if I use plus/minus grading, these numbers represent approximate cut-offs for the corresponding minus grade. In other words, an 88% would be an A- and 87% would be a B+.)
  4. The exams are scheduled for June 8 (over Chapters 1 and 2), June 26 (over Chapters 3 and 4); and July 6 (over Chapter 5). Your only test on the material in Chapter 6 will be the homework. Watch the information webpage for any changes to this schedule as well as a day-by-day syllabus.
  5. Homework assignments will be posted on the web (click here) along with a due date.  Typically there will be one assignment per week,  but read the webpage carefully as assignment due dates may change.  Late homework will be accepted but with a 10% penalty.
