MIT 18.100A Real Analysis, Fall 2020

Instructor: Dr. Casey Rodriguez View the complete course: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-100a-real-analysis-fall-2020/ This course covers the fundamentals of mathematical analysis: convergence of sequences and series, continuity, differentiability, Riemann integral, sequences and series of functions, uniformity, and the interchange of limit operations. It shows the utility of abstract concepts through a study of real numbers, and teaches an understanding and construction of proofs.
