a.
I have moved this course site to my archive which you can access
from my departmental instructor's web page (bottom left).
The new location is

b.
The small size of this class has allowed me to be very generous with my time
outside lecture, and I hope that you have profited from these circumstances.
It was my privilege to be your teacher and I wish you all the very best for
your future studies and beyond -- Michael Fochler --

a.
Scope of Quiz 10: MF ch.12.1.9-12.2.2, ch.12.3.1, ch.12.3.2 until
Cor.12.4 (dominance criterion), the parts of MF ch.13 discussed in lecture.
b.
The deadline to withdraw is tomorrow, Fri 12/10 @11:59 PM.
|
| 12/7/2021 |
a.
Quiz 10 will be on Fri Dec 10, not on Wed Dec 8. Scope TBD.
b.
I skipped most of Ch. 12.3.2 (Infinite Series) in lecture.
The only exception: Prop.12.47 and a special form of Cor.12.4:
Absolutely convergent series are convergent.
|
| 12/3/2021 |
a.
My finals review session will be Tue Dec 14 @3:15; location: WH 309.
If there is sufficient interest on your part then it will last for
at least two hours: I have reserved the room until 5:30 PM.
b.
Quiz 10 will be given Wed, 12/8.
Scope:
|
| 12/3/2021 |
a.
Since it is established that there are 62 homework points for this entire
course which correspond to 400 grade points, the multiplier is
400/62 = 6.451612903.
•
Example: A homework total of 50 points will be worth
6.451612903 * 50 = 322.58 grade points.

| 12/2/2021 |
a.
HW 16 and 17 have been published. I had uploaded HW 16 already on Nov 26 but
the HTML of this webpage was faulty and referred to HW 15 instead.
HW 17 is due Mon Dec 13, after the last lecture.
b.
My finals review session will be Tue Dec 14 @3:15; location TBD.
If there is sufficient interest on your part then it will last for
at least two hours.

a.
IMPORTANT:
There have been some unfounded rumors that one and the same final exam
will be given across all sections.
This is not true:
Each Math 330 section designs its own final!
Scope of the final:
Everything I have taught is fair game.
The final exam is not cumulative but a disproportionate amount of the problems
will be drawn from the material not covered by the midterms, i.e.,
starting with chapter 9.7
b.
REMINDER: I will give a finals review session at a date/time of your choosing between
Sat Dec 11 and Tue Dec 14.
|
| 11/29/2021 |
a.
Quiz #9 will be given on Wednesday, Dec 1.
Scope: ch.12 through Proposition 12.27 (Minimality of the closure of a set),
but nothing from Ch.12.1.6: Bases and Neighborhood Bases.
Be sure you understand what a delta neighborhood look like, not only for the
Euclidean distance but also for the discrete metric, the sup-norm, and the
L1 and L2 norms!

Free UTS tutoring for Math 330
William Jones, Alexander Siong and Evan Taber are the tutors assigned to all
Math 330 sections for this semester.
We are very fortunate to have two former students of mine, Alexander and William,
among those three since this means that they are familiar with all of the material
I teach in my class. I have no doubt that Evan will do a fine job too.
All three have generously agreed to introduce themselves this Wednesday, Sep 15,
toward the end of lecture. I intend to stop 5-10 minutes early.

(before subgroups), thus functions and induction proofs will not be on that quiz.
I will start Monday's lecture by continuing ch.3.1.
Then I'll go back to ch.2.4 and I'll skip the remainder of ch.2,
then I'll continue ch.3 with ch.3.2.

The date for the second midterm has been changed from
Wednesday, November 10, to Monday, November 8!

that deadline.
