Intended Learning Outcomes The School of Science Intended Learning Outcomes and the Math Department Intended Learning Outcomes are posted (see http://www.math.ust.hk/makyli/UG.html Please scroll down to Math371 section.) Upon the end of the course, you should have opportunities to and should be able to ILO A: recognize the power of abstraction and generalization, and apply logical reasoning to investigate mathematical work with independent judgement (cf Science ILO 1, Math ILO 3P) ILO B: communicate eectively about math to peer and teaching stas using available equipments or presentation softwares (cf Science ILO 4, Math ILO 4) ILO C: apply rigorous deductive reasoning to analyze and solve problems related to math profession (cf Science ILO 6, Math ILO 2) Teaching Approach There will be lectures by the instructor on materials presented in the lecture notes with emphasis on proofs. By understanding proofs and doing homeworks, you will gradually attain the ability for ILO A. For presentation project, you may do it by using whiteboard, overhead projector, WORD documents, power-point presentations or any math softwares. These will train you for ILO B. For ILO C, there will be written assignments and tests. Course Schedule (4 hours) (4 hours) (6 hours) (6 hours) (4 hours) (6 hours) (6 hours) Syllabus.

Learning Environment Please arrive on time and avoid leaving early. Please do not cause rude disturbances. In particular, your mobile phones should be o while you are in class. This is a dicult course for many, but not all students. Although there are lecture notes, questions from students and answers from instructors or other digressions will not be recorded. You are advised to take your own notes. All materials presented in lectures and tutorials as well as proper class conduct are your responsibility. The instructor reserves the right to make any changes to the course throughout the semester. To succeed in this course, you should actively engage in learning and do the assigned works with your own eort.
