Overview

This course aims to put on a sound footing many of the results and procedures used in the Calculus. It starts by studying properties of the real number system, including suprema and infima, sequences and series. Then it considers the theory of continuous functions on closed bounded intervals, treating global extrema and intermediate values. These results are applied in the theory of differentiability and to the Riemann Integral.
