In mathematics, real analysis is the branch of mathematical analysis that studies the behavior of real numbers, sequences and series of real numbers, and real functions.[1] Some particular properties of real-valued sequences and functions that real analysis studies include convergence, limits, continuity, smoothness, differentiability and integrability.
This course is the second course of the two-semester sequential courses -- Math 7200. In Math 7200, we have covered Chapters 0-3 of the textbook.
- "Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications", 2nd Edition, by G. B. Folland
This course will cover topics such as signed measures, Lebesgue-Radon-Nikodym theorem, function of bounded variation, topological vector spaces, Hilbert spaces, \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)\) spaces. Depending on the progress, we will follow mostly most parts of the following about five chapters of the text book starting from Section 2.4:
- Chapter 2. Integration
- Chapter 3. Signed measures and differentiation
- Chapter 4. Point set topology
- Chapter 5. Elements of functional analysis
- Chapter 6. \(L^p\) spaces
- MATH 7200 or Departmental approval
This is a demanding course and it requires a great deal of work from your side. In order to successfully master the material and complete the course, you are expected to
- Read the textbook and attend lectures.
- Take the advantage of the office hours, which give you additional chance to interact with the instructor.
- Read solutions and any feedback you receive for each problem set.
- Complete and submit weekly homework through Gradescope.
- Complete both midterm test and the final exam.
- Use appropriate etiquette and treat other students with respect in all discussions.
- Do not hesitate to ask for help whenever needed.
Note: The syllabus was created in Oct. 2021, and it is subject to changes during the semester.
- There will be 5 homework assignments.
- No late homework will be accepted.
-
You need to write full details of the problems and upload your solutions to gradescope.
- Go to Canvas --> Find this course --> Click Gradescope on the left panel.
- See below for more instructions on gradescope.
- We will randomly select a few problems to grade and the rest will be checked only for completion.
- There will be one take-home midterm test during the class session:
-
Final exam will be cumulative.
Date/Time Coverage Midterm Test March 22th Tuesday Sections 2.4 - 2.7, 3.1 - 3.5, 4.1 - 4.6 Final Exam May 3rd Tuesday, 8:00 AM -- 10:30 AM Chapters 2.4 - 6, comprehensive
- Please note down the above dates. No late exam/test will be given.
-
Makeup exams will only be allowed in extreme circumstances. Exams cannot be made up without a
university-approved excuse. Any excuse must be submitted by the date of exam to be considered.
Please refer to the Tiger Cub for the list of acceptable reasons for being absent from an exam or
a test. Makeup exam/test has to be scheduled and made up in a timely manner. - More details will come during the semester.
- Notify the instructor if you are not able to participate in a lecture due to illness or some other emergency.
- Attendance will not be directly counted into your final score.
- But sufficient attendance will make your eligible for grade curving at the end of semester.
- The final score will be determined as follows:
-
Based on the final score (plus potential bonus points), the final letter grade will be
determined as follows:Grade (+) Grade Grade (-) A 92%-100% A- 90%-91.9% B+ 87%-89.9% B 82%-86.9% B- 80%-81.9% C+ 77%-87.9% C 72%-76.9% C- 70%-71.9% D+ 67%-67.9% D 67%-67.9% D- 60%-61.9% F 0%-59.9%
- Slides will be updated constantly throughout the semester and please check the time stamp on the front page.
- I strongly encourage you to study in advance.

We will use gradescope to handle submissions of homework, which allows
us to provide fast and accurate feedback on your work. -
As soon as grades are posted, you will be notified immediately so that you can log in and see your
grades and feedback. - If you have any questions regarding Gradescope, please send your message to
-
Printer+scanner or tablet
-
The easiest way to submit the homework/tests/exams is the following steps:
- print the given template;
- complete the problem sets;
- scan the resulting paper (make sure it is legible);
- upload the scanned file to gradescope.
-
Alternatively, if you have a tablet that you can write on it, you may simply write on the
template pdf file and upload the resulting file. - Make sure that you make the correct association of your solutions to the problems.
- Double check your scan quality and make sure your solutions are legible.
-
The easiest way to submit the homework/tests/exams is the following steps:
-
The following short video (1 minutes 40 seconds) shows the basic usage of gradescope, which should
explain everything you need to be able to do.
- More instruction will be available towards the Fall 2021.
We will follow the university policy regarding face covering:
Students enrolled in this course are required to wear a face covering that covers the nose and mouth while inside the classroom, laboratory, faculty member offices, or group instructional spaces. Failure to comply with this requirement represents a potential violation of Code of Student Conduct and may be reported as a non-academic violation.
Please consult the Auburn University Classroom Behavior Policy at
for additional details.
- Students should familiarize themselves with Auburn honor code here
-
Students are encouraged to share ideas and solutions on problem sets and labs, but must
express those ideas in their own words in their submitted work. - Students are not authorized to view or use the work of another student during exams.
Your success in this class is important to me. We will all need accommodations because we all learn differently. If there are aspects of this course that prevent you from learning or exclude you, please let me know as soon as possible. Together we will develop strategies to meet both your needs and the requirements of the course.
I encourage you to visit the Office of Accessibility to determine how you could improve your learning as well. You can register and make a request for services from the Office of Accessibility. In this case, please do inform me of such requests. See the following link for more information:
