COURSE OUTLINE

Second Semester 2022/2023


Course Code: SMA 300
Course Title: Real Analysis I

Purpose of the Course


To develop a deeper and more rigorous understanding of the real number
system including defining terms and proving theorems about functions,
sequences, series, limits, continuity and sequences of functions.

Expected Learning Outcomes


By the end of the course, learners should be able to:
1. Construct the real number system and apply the concept of
completeness in the set of real numbers and its topology.
2. Prove and apply theorems associated with sequences of real
numbers.
3. Classify a given series of real numbers as convergent or divergent.
4. Discuss properties of countable and uncountable sets.
5. Distinguish between point wise and uniform continuity of real-
values functions.

Course Content
The Real number System: field and order structure, principle of
induction, Rational & Irrational numbers, Bounded sets, Supremum and
Infimum, Completeness in the set of real numbers. Topology of the Real
Numbers: Open sets, limit points, closed sets and closure of sets.
Sequences: Limit point of a sequence. Limit superior and Limit Inferior,
Convergent sequences, Monotonic sequence, Cauchy sequence, principle
of convergent sequences. Series: Partial sum of series, Convergence of
series, Absolute and conditional convergence of series. Tests of
convergence: Comparison tests, Cauchy’s Root test, D’Alembert’s Ratio
test, Integral test, Alternating series test. Countable and uncountable
sets; Functions: Limits,Continuity and Uniform Continuity (Pre-
Requisite: SMA 200: Calculus II)

Mode of Delivery
Class lectures, tutorials, discussions, problem solving, exercises.

Instructional Materials
Whiteboard/chalkboard, overhead projector, smart board.
