Math 335, Accelerated (Honors) Advanced Calculus, Winter, 2005

This is the Math 335 homepage. Consult it from time to time to find useful information for the course. I will include links to the syllabus and other course information.

The following are links to current course information.

  1. (3/9/05) Sample problems for the final.
  2. (3/3/05)On the Convergence of Fourier Series is an article with an alternate (and pretty) discussion of some of the results we have discussed.
  3. (2/18/05) Sample problems for the second midterm, which will cover through section 8.1.
  4. (2/17/05) The rest of the hw schedule is modified as follows: Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 are due on March 3; sections 8.5 and 8.6 are due on March 10. The midterm on February 25 will not include section 8.2.
  5. (2/17/05) The sculptor Helaman Ferguson has a variety of interesting mathematical sculptures. The MIT CS Professor Erik Demaine has a link to some of his origami patterns. He is the person that Eliana mentioned.
  6. (2/4/05) The MCM contest has started. You might want to take a look at the problems.
  7. (2/3/05) William Stein's Elementary Number Theory, which includes an excellent chapter on continued fractions. He would like to hear from you if you have any feedback.
  8. (1/27/05) Sample problems for the first midterm.
  9. (1/26/05) An article on Fourier Series of Polygons
  10. (1/26/05) The AMS has two popular links, Math in the Media and a monthly Feature Column.
  11. (1/20/05) An article on Cantor's ternary function. It gives a brief introduction to some ideas of measure theory.
  12. (1/19/05) Noah's new office hours for Wednesday: 5:00-6:00 in Padelford, C401. Note the change of location and time.
  13. (1/14/05) Rearranging Conditionally Convergent Series
  14. (1/14/05) The issues of the Notices of the AMS, Part I and Part II that have an abbreviated biography of Alexander Grothendieck. (Apparently he never used the spelling Alexandre.)
  15. (1/10/05) Noah's office hours: T, 1:30; W, 4:30.
  16. (1/6/05) Our new rooms will be Smith 404, MWF; and Smith 307 TTh.
  17. (1/6/05) Noah's office hours will be Tuesday at 1:30 and Wednesday at 4:30.
  18. (1/5/05) Noah's office hour today will be at 3:00.
  19. (1/3/05) Brooke will get us a new room. I'll post the change as soon as I know it.
  20. (1/3/05) The syllabus is now corrected. If we run into problems with this schedule, I'll modify it during the quarter.
  21. (1/3/05) The schedule is going to have to be changed since Noah has a conflict on Fridays. I will probably make the quiz section on Thursday. I will let you know when I redo the schedule.
  22. (1/1/05)It is easy to determine whether a given integer is prime is an exposition of an amazing result proved by some undergraduates in 2002.
  23. (1/1/05) Creating More Convergent Series, an article about rearranging terms in a series.
  24. (1/1/05) An article about four color problem.
  25. (1/1/05) An interesting article on gravity.
  26. (1/1/05) Why Did George Green Write His Essay of 1828 on Electricity and Magnetism is an article that gives a history of Green's essay. This article says that he was motivated by Poisson's equation. It seems that Poisson must have had a primitive version of the divergence theorem.
  27. (1/1/05) A link to the 1854 Smith Prize Exam that Stokes wrote. It can be found in the Michigan online library. Go to that link and type in Stokes in the search field. The Smith Exams are in the last volume. Apparently William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) stated the result to Stokes in a letter in 1950. James Clerk Maxwell won the Smith Prize in 1854 and Stokes himself won it in 1841.
  28. (1/1/05) Make sure you check Jerry Folland's website for misprints. In particular exercise 7, p. 257 and theorem 5.65.
