Course Notes

Analysis I (These notes were used for MATH 521 at UW-Madison, during Spring 2019.)


I will eventually post an updated and significantly expanded version of the above notes (used in the two-semester analysis sequence Math 425ab at USC).  Please email me at tleslie "at" iit "dot" edu if you would like access to the preliminary versions.  

Other Notes

What Does it Mean to Sum Infinitely Many Numbers?

Handout for a Math Circle, May 3, 2021


Homogenization for Elliptic PDEs via Two-Scale Convergence

These notes serve as a concise introduction to two-scale convergence.  I wrote them in preparation for a sequence of two 1-hour talks that I gave at the Winter School in Multiscale Methods and Applications in March 2016, held at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
