This is the first part of the two semesters course in Advanced Calculus whose goal is to present the foundation of the Real Analysis which will culminate with Bolzano-Weierstrass and Heine- Borel theorems. The first semester of the sequence will concentrate on Differential Calculus of the function of a single variable.
Textbook: Advanced Calculus, 3rd edition, by Watson Fulks Wiley and Sons Publ. Co.
Topics: Chapters 1-4, 8, and 9.
Note: Some topics which are not in the textbook will be presented in lectures. Likewise, some topics which are in the textbook, may be presented in a different way. Taking lecture notes is a necessity for success in this course.

Teaching format: The course will be offered in 2+1 format, that is, in two lectures followed by a problem solving session.
Homework: After each topic, the textbook provides a set of exercises. These exercises will be assigned and they will be worked in problem solving sessions. Your participation in these sessions is expected.
Instructions for using MAPLE for solving homework problems will be given in lectures. You are expected to have access to campus computers carrying this program.
