MAT 638 - Real Analysis

(3)

After Newton and Leibniz discovered the amazing power and flexibility of calculus, a lot of work was left to understand why it works. Over two centuries, mathematicians had to define what it means to get “close to” something. In the 20th century, this depended on the notion of being open, as in the open interval (0,1). Course reaps fruit of all that labor by proving that calculus in one real variable works-from a modern perspective.
