Analysis provides the rigourous, foundational underpinnings of calculus. The focus of this course is multivariable analysis, building on the single-variable theory from MA2009 Analysis I and MA2509 Analysis II. Concepts and results around multivariable differentiation are comprehensively established, laying the ground for multivariable integration in MX3535 Analysis IV.
As in Analysis I and II, abstract reasoning and proof-authoring are key skills emphasised in this course.

Syllabus
Course Aims
To provide students with the basic knowledge of the modern mathematical analysis.
Main Learning Outcomes
- Understand definitions and basic concepts of real analysis (real number, limit, continuity, differential, etc.)

Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1 two-hour written examination (80%); in-course assessment (20%).
Informal assessment of weekly homework through discussions in tutorials.
In-course assignments will normally be marked within one week and feedback provided to students in tutorials. Students will be invited to contact Course Coordinator for feedback on the final examination.
