Syllabus

Introduction to University Mathematics

This course, "Introduction to University Mathematics," offers a foundational exploration of essential mathematical concepts, starting with natural numbers, induction, and set theory, before building the number system from integers and rationals to the formal construction of real numbers. It introduces key ideas like relations, functions, and mathematical logic, concluding with a deep dive into the Axiom of Completeness and its significant implications for the properties of the real number line, ultimately aiming to establish a rigorous understanding of the fundamental structures and logic necessary for higher-level mathematics.

Analysis

This lecture series provides a comprehensive introduction to real analysis, drawing on Terence Tao's Analysis I. Structured to build from foundational concepts to advanced theorems, it begins with the Axioms of Completeness and Least Upper Bound Property, exploring real number structure, sequences (convergence, limits, Cauchy sequences), and key results like Bolzano-Weierstrass. The series transitions to continuity (epsilon-delta definitions, Intermediate/Extreme Value Theorems), uniform continuity, and algebraic properties of continuous functions. Later lectures focus on differentiation (derivatives, Mean Value Theorem) and applications including Inverse Function Theorem and L’Hôpital’s Rule. Emphasizing rigorous proofs and central theorems, the series connects theoretical foundations with analytical tools, offering systematic progression from real numbers to function behavior while highlighting Tao's pedagogical approach.

Algebra

Based on Artin's Algebra, this course begins with Matrix Operations, Row Reduction, the Matrix Transpose, Determinants, and Permutations. It then introduces fundamental algebraic structures, covering Laws of Composition, Groups and Subgroups, Subgroups of the Additive Group of Integers, Cyclic Groups, Homomorphisms, and Isomorphisms. Concepts like Equivalence Relations, Partitions, Cosets, Modular Arithmetic, the Correspondence Theorem, Product Groups, and Quotient Groups are explored. The course also touches upon Group Actions, including Cayley's Theorem, the Class Equation, and concludes with the Sylow Theorems.

Linear Algebra

Based on Artin's Algebra, this course covers core concepts of linear algebra. It starts with Subspaces of $\textbf{R}^{n}$ and introduces the concept of Fields. The definition and properties of Vector Spaces are discussed, followed by Bases and Dimension, techniques for Computing with Bases, and Direct Sums. The course then moves to Linear Operators, the Dimension Formula, and representing linear maps using the Matrix of a Linear Transformation. Key topics like Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues, the Characteristic Polynomial, and finding Triangular and Diagonal Forms are also covered.
