Solutions for some of the MATH 140H homework problems are
available.
Students in MATH 140H will take the same midterm exams and final exam
and do the same kind of homework as students in the standard MATH 140,
Calculus I. But in addition, MATH 140H will include supplementary
material on the foundations of calculus. This will involve extra
homework and a term paper. Here are some
readings on the foundations of calculus.
- Richard Dedekind, Essays on the Theory of Numbers, Dover,
1963, III + 115 pages. Downloadable
version.
- Solomon Feferman, The Number Systems: Foundations of Algebra
and Analysis, Chelsea, 1989, XII + 418 pages.
- Elliott Mendelson, Number Systems and the Foundations of
Analysis, Academic Press, 1973, XII + 358 pages.
- Kenneth A. Ross, Elementary Analysis: The Theory of
Calculus, Springer, 1980, X + 351 pages.
My lecture notes for this part of the course
are available. The homework for this part of
the course is as follows:
- Supplementary Homework #1, due Wednesday October 19: Exercises 1,
2, 3 in the lecture notes.
- Term paper proposal, due Friday
November 18.
- Term paper, due Friday December 9.
The final exam for MATH 140H was Tuesday, December 13, 2:30-4:20
PM, in 100 Thomas.
Here are links to some standard course materials for MATH 140.
Additional course materials for MATH 140, including the Student
