MATH 2400H HOMEPAGE
Ted Shifrin

MATH 2400H, CALCULUS WITH THEORY, meets MWF 11:15-12:05, R 11:00-12:15.

MATH 2400H-2410H will follow Mike Spivak's wonderful text Calculus; this is a truly "mathematical" treatment of calculus. Even though most students will have had AP calculus (and may keep their AP credit for MATH 2200), no prior knowledge of calculus is assumed, but proofs and a deep understanding of the underlying concepts will be stressed. Any student who is interested in a highly demanding and interactive mathematics experience is welcome; membership in the Honors program is not required.

This class continues spring semester as MATH 2410H and then MATH 3500-3510 (Multivariable Mathematics, an integrated, rigorous course in linear algebra and multivariable calculus).

There will be daily homework, some of which will be collected and graded approximately once a week. There will be either five hour-exams (scheduled on Thursdays with the full 75-minute period allowed) and a 3-hour final exam on Monday, December 11, 2006, at noon. Attendance is expected, as is serious class participation.

Puzzler Problems: Solve as many of these as you can (or want to!).
