Contains supplementary exercises and projects designed to facilitate students' understanding of the fundamental concepts in real analysis, a subject notoriously hard for beginners. The exercises can be used in a number of ways: to motivate a lecture; to serve as a basis for in-class activities; in lab sessions where students work in small groups and submit reports of their investigations. For the last of these, programs in Maple are supplied with further ancillary material available via from http://www.saintmarys.edu/~jsnow/maplets.html.
- This text supplement contains 12 exploratory exercises designed to facilitate students' understanding of elemental concepts encountered in a real analysis course
- The exercises can be used in a variety of ways: to motivate a lecture, to serve as a basis for in-class activities, or for lab sessions
- Support material available from http://www.saintmarys.edu/~jsnow/maplets.html
