Tentative Schedule: (28 lessons, this website will be updated with exact dates as well as homework)

  • Mon 1/28: § 1.1-1.2: Introduction to Metric Spaces and Euclidean Spaces

  • (See also handout from Marsden: Elementary Classical Analysis)

  • Homework: Read about Metric Spaces, balls and Open sets.

  • 1)a) Prove (-infinity, b) is open in R. 1)b) Prove (a,b) is open in R

  • 2)a) Prove {(x,y): x>5 } is open in R^2. 2)b) Prove {(x,y): x>0 and y>0}is open in R^2

  • 3)a) Prove that U and V open implies U union V is open in any metric space.

  • 3)b) Prove that U and V is open implies U intersection V is open in any metric space.

  • Wed 1/30: § 1.1-1.2: Open sets in Metric Spaces and Euclidean Spaces

  • Classwork on Proving: (a) prove the countable union of open sets is open, (b) prove an annulua is open, (c) prove the x axis in the Euclidean plane is not open, (d) Prove {(x_1,x_2): x_2>x_1} is open in the Euclidean plane. (e) Prove {(x_1,x_2,x_2): 2x_1+3x_2+5x_3>30} is open in Euclidean space. Also in class we defined a limit is a metric space and proved it was equivalent to the topological definition of a limit.

  • Homework: spend four hours on the homework and be sure to do 1a, 2a, 3 and 4: 1)a) any line in the Euclidean plane is not open, 1b) any plane in Euclidean three space is not open. 2) Let X be a metric space, x,z in X and r>0 Prove: a) U(x,r)={ y: d(x,y)>r} is open and b) U(x,z,r)={y: d(x,y)+d(y,z)<r} is open. 3) Let U be an open set, so we know for all x in U there exists r_x>0 such that D(x, r_x) subset U. Show U= union_{over x in U} D(x,r_x). This is a huge union of possibly infinitely many balls and yet it is still inside U. This proof has two directions. 4) Let K be a subset of a metric space X, and r>0, we define the tubular neighborhood about K or radius r denoted T_r(K)={x: exists y in K such that d(x,y)<r}. Prove that T_r(K) is an open set. 5) Complete classwork problems d and e looking up the formulas for a distance to a plane or a distance to a line as needed.
