### Chapter 1 The Real Numbers

Theorem 1.1.1. There is no rational number whose square is 2.

Theorem 1.2.6.
Two real numbers $$a$$ and $$b$$ are equal iff for every real number $$\e>0$$ it follows that $$|a-b| <\e$$.

Principle of Induction.
If $$S\subset \N$$ such that

1. $$S$$ contains 1 and
2. whenever $$S$$ contains $$n\in\N$$, it also contains $$n+1$$,
then $$S = \N$$.

Axiom of Completeness.
Every nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound.

Definition 1.3.1.
A set $$A\subset \R$$ is bounded above if there exists a number $$b\in\R$$ such that $$a\le b$$ for all $$a\in A$$. The number $$b$$ is called an upper bound for $$A$$.

Similarly, the set $$A$$ is bounded below if there exists a lower bound $$l\in\R$$ satisfying $$l\le a$$ for every $$a\in A$$.

Definition 1.3.2.
A real number $$s$$ is the least upper bound, or supremum for a set $$A\subset \R$$ if it meets the following two criteria:

1. $$s$$ is an upper bound for $$A$$
2. if $$b$$ is any upper bound for $$A$$, then $$s \le b$$
The greatest lower bound, or infimum is defined similarly.

Lemma 1.3.8.
Suppose $$s\in\R$$ is an upper bound for $$A\subset\R$$. Then $$s=\sup A$$ iff $$\forall \e>0\ \exists\ a\in A\ \ni s-\e < a$$.

Theorem 1.4.1 (Nested Interval Property).
For each $$n\in \N$$, assume that we have a closed interval $$I_n=[a_n,b_n]$$ such that $I_1 \supset I_2 \supset I_3 \supset I_4 \supset \cdots$ Then $$\displaystyle \bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty} I_n \ne \emptyset$$

Theorem 1.4.2 (Archimedean Property).

1. Given any $$x\in\R$$, there exists $$n\in\N$$ such that $$n>x$$.
2. Given any real number $$y>0$$, there exists $$n\in\N$$ such that $$\frac{1}{n} < y$$.

Theorem 1.4.3 (Density of $$\Q$$ in $$\R$$).
For every two real numbers $$a$$ and $$b$$ where $$a< b$$, there exists a rational $$r$$ satisfying $$a< r < b$$.

Corollary 1.4.4.
Given any two real numbers $$a < b$$, there exists an irrational number $$t$$ satifying $$a < t < b$$.

Theorem 1.4.5 .
There exists a real number $$\alpha\in\R$$ satisfying $$\alpha^2 = 2$$.

Definition 1.5.1.
A function $$f:A\to B$$ is one-to-one if $$a_1 \ne a_2$$ in $$A$$ implies that $$f(a_1) \ne f(a_2)$$ in $$B$$. The function is onto if, given any $$b\in B$$, it is possible to find an element $$a\in A$$ for which $$f(a)=b$$.

Definition 1.5.2.
A set $$A$$ has the same cardinality as $$B$$ if there exists $$f:A\to B$$ that is one-one and onto. In this case we write $$A\sim B$$.

Definition 1.5.5.
A set $$A$$ is countable if $$\N \sim A$$. An infinite set that is not countable is called an uncountable set.

Theorem 1.5.6.

1. The set $$\Q$$ is countable.
2. The set $$\R$$ is uncountable.

Theorem 1.5.7.
If $$A\subset B$$ and $$B$$ is countable, then $$A$$ is either countable or finite.

Theorem 1.5.8.

1. If $$A_1,A_2, \ldots,A_m$$ are each countable sets, then the union $$A_1\cup A_2\cup\cdots\cup A_m$$ is countable.
2. If $$A_n$$ is a countable set for each $$n\in\N$$, then $$\dst\cup_{n=1}^\infty A_n$$ is countable.

Theorem 1.6.1.
The open interval $$(0,1)\subset\R$$ is uncountable.

Theorem 1.6.2 (Cantor's Theorem).
Given any set $$A$$, there does not exist a function $$f:A\to P(A)$$ that is onto.

### Chapter 2 Sequences and Series

Definition 2.2.3.
A sequence $$(a_n)$$ converges to a real number $$a$$ if for every $$\e > 0$$ there exists $$N\in\N$$ such that $$n\ge N$$ implies $$| a_n - a | < \e$$.

Definition 2.2.4.
Given a real number $$a\in \R$$ and a positive number $$\e>0$$, the set $V_{\e}(a) = \{ x\in\R \mid |x-a| < \e \}$ is called the $$\e$$-neighborhood of $$a$$ .

Definition 2.2.3B (Convergence of a Sequence: Topological Version).
A sequence $$(a_n)$$ converges to a if, given any $$\epsilon$$-neighborhood $$V_{\e}(a)$$ of a, there exists a point in the sequence after which all of the terms are in $$V_{\e}(a)$$. In other words, every $$\epsilon$$-neighborhood contains all but a finite number of the terms of $$(a_n)$$.

Theorem 2.3.2.
Every convergent sequence is bounded.

Theorem 2.3.3 (Algebraic Limit Theorem).
Let $$\lim a_n=a$$ and $$\lim b_n=b$$. Then

1. $$\lim (ca_n) = ca$$ for all c$$\in\R$$

2. $$\lim(a_n+b_n) = a+b$$

3. $$\lim(a_nb_n)=ab$$

4. $$\lim\left(\frac{a_n}{b_n}\right)=\frac{a}{b}$$ if $$b\ne 0$$

Theorem 2.3.4 (Order Limit Theorem).
Let $$\lim a_n=a$$ and $$\lim b_n=b$$. Then

1. If $$a_n\ge 0$$ for all $$n\in\N$$, then $$a\ge 0$$

2. If $$a_n \le b_n$$ for all $$n\in\N$$, then $$a\le b$$

3. If there exists $$c\in\R$$ such that $$c\le b_n$$ for all $$n\in\N$$, then $$c\le b$$
Similarly, if $$a_n\le c$$ for all $$n\in\N$$, then $$a\le c$$

Theorem 2.4.2 (Monotone Convergence Theorem).
If a sequence is monotone and bounded, then it converges.

Definition 2.4.3 (Convergence of a Series).
Let $$(b_n)$$ be a sequence. An infinite series is a formal expression of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n = b_1 + b_2 + b_3 + b_4 + \cdots$ We define the corresponding sequence of partial sums $$(s_m)$$ by $s_m = b_1 + \cdots + b_m$ and say that the series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n$$ converges to $$B$$ if the sequence $$(s_m)$$ converges to $$B$$. In this case we write $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n = B$$.

Theorem 2.4.6 (Cauchy Condensation Test).
Suppose that $$(b_n)$$ is decreasing and satisfies $$b_n\ge 0$$ for all $$n$$. Then $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n$$ converges iff the series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^n\ b_{2^n} = b_1 + 2b_2 + 4b_4 + 8b_8 + 16b_{16} + \cdots$ converges.

Corollary 2.4.7.
The series $$\dst \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^p}$$ converges iff $$p>1$$.

Definition 2.5.1.
Let $$(a_n)$$ be a sequence of real numbers, and let $$n_1 < n_2 < n_3<\cdots$$ be an increasing sequence of natural numbers. Then the sequence $(a_{n_1}, a_{n_2}, a_{n_3}, \ldots )$ is called a subsequence of $$a_n$$ and is denoted by $$(a_{n_k})$$ where $$k\in\N$$ indexes the subsequence.

Theorem 2.5.2.
Subsequences of a convergent sequence converge to the same limit as the original sequence.

Theorem 2.5.5 (Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem).
Every bounded sequence contains a convergent subsequence.

Definition 2.6.1.
A sequence $$(a_n)$$ is a Cauchy sequence iff for every $$\e>0$$ there exists $$N\in\N$$ such that $$m\ge N$$ and $$n\ge N$$ imply $$|a_n-a_m|<\e$$.

Theorem 2.6.2.
Every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence.

Lemma 2.6.3.
Cauchy sequences are bounded.

Theorem 2.6.4 (Cauchy Criterion).
A sequence converges if and only if it is a Cauchy sequence.

Theorem 2.7.1 (Algebraic Limit Theorem for Series).
If $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k = A$$ and $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty B_k = B$$, then

1. $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty c a_k = cA$$ for all $$c\in\R$$

2. $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k + b_k = A+B$$

Theorem 2.7.2 (Cauchy Criterion for Series).
The series $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ converges iff given $$\e>0$$, there exists $$N\in\N$$ such that whenever $$n>m\ge N$$ it follows that $|a_{m+1} + a_{m+2}+\cdots+a_n|<\e$

Theorem 2.7.3.
If the series $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ converges, then $$(a_k)\to 0$$.

Theorem 2.7.4 (Comparison Test).
Assume $$(a_k)$$ and $$(b_k)$$ are sequences satisfying $$0\le a_k \le b_k$$ for all $$k\in\N$$.

1. If $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty b_k$$ converges, then $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ converges.

2. If $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ diverges, then $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty b_k$$ diverges.

Theorem 2.7.6(Absolute Convergence Test).
If the series $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty |a_k|$$ converges, then $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ converges as well.

Theorem 2.7.7(Alternating Series Test).
Let $$(a_n)$$ be a sequence satisfying

1. $$a_1 \ge a_2 \ge a_3 \ge \cdots$$ and
2. $$(a_n)\to 0$$
Then the alternating series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^{n+1}a_n$$ converges.

Definition 2.7.8.
If $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|$$ converges, then we say that $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$$ converges absolutely .

If $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$$ converges but $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|$$ diverges, then we say that the original series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$$ converges conditionally.

Definition 2.7.9.
Let $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ be a series. A series $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty b_k$$ is called a rearrangement of $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k$$ if there exists a one-to-one, onto function $$f:\N\to\N$$ such that $$b_{f(k)} = a_k$$ for all $$n\in\N$$.

Theorem 2.7.10.
If a series converges absolutely, then any rearrangement of the series converges to the same limit.

### Chapter 4 Functional Limits and Continuity

Definition 4.2.1.
Let $$f:A\to\R$$, and let $$c$$ be a limit point of $$A$$. We say $$\dst\lim_{x\to c} f(x)=L$$ if for all $$\e>0$$ there exists $$\d>0$$ such that $$0<|x-c|<\d$$ (and $$x\in A$$) implies $$|f(x)-L| < \e$$.

Definition 4.3.1 (Continuity).
A function $$f:A\to\R$$ is continuous at a point $$c\in A$$ if for all $$\e>0$$ there exists a $$\d>0$$ such that $$|x-c|<\d$$ (and $$x\in A$$) implies $$|f(x)-f(c)|<\e$$.

Corollary 4.3.3.
Let $$f:A\to \R$$ and let $$c\in A$$ be a limit point of $$A$$. If there exists a sequence $$(x_n)$$ in $$A$$ where $$(x_n)\to c$$ but $$(f(x_n) )$$ does not converge to $$f(c)$$, then $$f$$ is not continuous a $$c$$.

4. $$(f/g)'(c) =\dst\frac{g(c)f'(c)-f(c)g'(c)}{(g(c))^2}$$ provided that $$g(c)\ne 0$$

Theorem 5.2.5 (The Chain Rule).
Let $$f:A\to\R$$ and $$g:B\to\R$$ where $$f(A)\subset B$$. If $$f$$ is differentiable at $$c\in A$$ and $$g$$ is differentiable at $$f(c)\in B$$, then $$g\circ f$$ is differentiable at $$c$$ with $(g\circ f)'(c) = g'(f(c))\ f'(c)$

If $$f$$ is differentiable on an interval $$[a,b]$$, and if $$\alpha$$ satisfies $f'(a)<\alpha < f'(b) \ \ \text{ or }\ \ f'(a) > \alpha>f'(b)$ then there exists a point $$c\in(a,b)$$ where $$f'(c)=\alpha$$.

Theorem 5.3.1 (Rolle's Theorem).
Let $$f:[a,b]\to \R$$ be continuous on $$[a,b]$$ and differentiable on $$(a,b)$$. If $$f(a)=f(b)=0$$, then there exists $$c\in(a,b)$$ such that $$f'(c)=0$$.

Theorem 6.2.5 (Cauchy Criterion for Uniform Convergence).
A sequence of functions $$(f_n)$$ defined on a set $$A \subset \R$$ converges uniformly on $$A$$ iff for every $$\e>0$$ there exists $$N\in\N$$ such that $$|f_n(x)-f_m(x)|<\e$$ whenever $$m,n\ge N$$ and $$x\in A$$.

Theorem 6.2.6.
Let $$(f_n)$$ be a sequence of functions defined on $$A\subset\R$$ that converges uniformly on $$A$$ to a function $$f$$. If each $$f_n$$ is continuous at $$c\in A$$, then $$f$$ is continuous at $$c$$.

Theorem 6.3.1.
Suppose $$(f_n)$$ converges to $$f$$ pointwise on the closed interval $$[a,b]$$ and that each $$f_n$$ is differentiable on $$[a,b]$$. If $$(f_n')$$ converges uniformly on $$[a,b]$$ to $$g$$, then $$f$$ is differentiable and $$f'=g$$.

Definition 6.4.1.
For each $$n\in\N$$, let $$f_n$$ be a function defined on $$A\subset \R$$. The infinite series $$\dsum_{n=1}^\infty f_n(x)$$ converges pointwise to a function $$f:A\to\R$$ iff the sequence of partial sums $s_k(x) = f_1(x) + \cdots + f_k(x)$ converges pointwise to $$f$$. The series converges uniformly on $$A$$ to $$f$$ iff $$(s_k(x))$$ converges uniformly on $$A$$ to $$f(x)$$.

Let each $$f_n$$ be continuous on $$A$$ and assume $$\dsum f_n$$ converges uniformly on $$A$$ to $$f$$. Then $$f$$ is continuous on $$A$$.

Theorem 6.4.3.
Suppose $$\dsum f_n$$ converges pointwise on $$A$$ to $$f$$.
If $$\dsum f_n'$$ converges uniformly to $$g$$ on $$A$$, then f is differentiable and $$f'=g$$.

That is, if $$f(x)=\dsum f_n(x)$$ and $$\dsum f_n'(x)$$ converges uniformly, then $$f'(x) = \dsum f_n'(x)$$.

Theorem 6.4.4 (Cauchy Criterion).
A series $$\dsum f_n$$ converges uniformly on $$A\subset\R$$ iff for all $$\e>0$$ there exists $$N\in\N$$ such that $$n>m\ge N$$ implies $| s_n(x)-s_m(x)| = | f_{m+1}(x) + f_{m+2}(x) + \cdots + f_n(x)| < \e \text{ for all } x\in A$

For each $$n\in\N$$, let $$f_n$$ be a function defined on $$A\subset\R$$, and let $$M_n\in\R$$ be positive such that $|f_n(x)| \le M_n \text{ for all } x\in A$ If $$\dsum M_n$$ converges, then $$\dsum f_n$$ converges uniformly on $$A$$.

Theorem 6.5.1.
If a power series $$\dsum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n$$ converges at $$x_0\in\R$$, then it converges absolutely for any $$x$$ such that $$|x|<|x_0|$$.

Theorem 6.5.2.
If $$\dsum a_n x^n$$ converges absolutely at $$x_0$$, then the series converges uniformly on $$[ -|x_0|, |x_0|]$$.

Theorem 6.5.6.
If $$\dsum a_n x^n$$ converges on $$(-R,R)$$, then $$\dsum na_n x^{n-1}$$ converges on $$(-R,R)$$.
Thus, $$\dsum na_n x^{n-1}$$ is a power series that converges uniformly on any compact subset of $$(-R,R)$$.

Theorem 6.5.7.
Assume that $$f(x)=\dsum a_n x^n$$ converges on an interval $$A\subset\R$$.
Then $$f$$ is continuous on $$A$$, differentiable on any interval $$(-R,R)\subset A$$, and $f'(x)=\sum na_n x^{n-1}$ Furthermore, $$f$$ is infinitely differentiable where the derivatives can be taken term by term.

Theorem 6.6.3 (Lagrange's Remainder Theorem).
Let $$f$$ be differentiable $$N+1$$ times on $$(-R,R)$$, define $a_n = \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!} \hspace{2em} \text{ for }\hspace{0.5em} n=0, 1, \ldots, N$ and let $S_N(x)=a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + \cdots + a_Nx^N$ Given $$x\ne 0$$ in $$(-R,R)$$, there exists a point $$c$$ satisfying $$|c|<|x|$$ where the error function $E_N(x) = f(x) - S_N(x) \hspace{2em} \text{ satisfies } \hspace{2em} E_N(x)=\frac{f^{(N+1)}(c)}{(N+1)!} x^{N+1}$

Theorem 6.7.1 (Weierstrass Approximation Theorem).
Let $$f:[a,b]\to \R$$ be continuous.
Given $$\e>0$$ there exists a polynomial $$p(x)$$ satisfying $| f(x) - p(x) | < \e$ for all $$x\in[a,b]$$.

### Chapter 7 The Riemann Integral

Definition 7.2.1.
A partition $$P$$ of $$[a,b]$$ is a finite ordered set $P = \{ a=x_0 < x_1 < \cdots < x_n = b\}$ Assume $$f$$ is bounded on $$[a,b]$$. For each subinterval of $$[x_{k-1},x_k]$$ of $$P$$ let $m_k = \inf\{f(x) \ | \ x\in [x_{k-1},x_k]\} \ \ \text{ and }\ \ M_k = \sup\{f(x) \ | \ x\in [x_{k-1},x_k]\}$ The lower sum of $$f$$ with respect to $$P$$ is given by $L(f,P) = \sum_{k=1}^n m_k (x_k-x_{k-1} )$ and the upper sum of $$f$$ with respect to $$P$$ is given by $U(f,P) \sum_{k=1}^n M_k (x_k-x_{k-1} )$

Definition 7.2.2.
A partition $$Q$$ is a refinement of a partition $$P$$ if $$Q$$ contains all of the points of $$P$$. We denote this by $$P\subset Q$$.

Lemma 7.2.3.
If $$P\subset Q$$, then $$L(f,P) \le L(f,Q)$$ and $$U(f,Q)\le U(f,P)$$.

Lemma 7.2.4.
If $$P_1$$ and $$P_2$$ are any two partitions of $$[a,b]$$, then $$L(f,P_1) \le U(f,P_2)$$.

Definition 7.2.5.
Let $$\mathcal{P}$$ be the set of all partitions of the interval $$[a,b]$$.

Define the upper integral of $$f$$ to be $U(f)= \inf \{U(f,P)\ |\ P\in\mathcal{P}\}$
Define the lower integral of $$f$$ to be $L(f)= \sup \{L(f,P)\ |\ P\in\mathcal{P}\}$

Lemma 7.2.6.
If $$f$$ is bounded on $$[a,b]$$, then $$U(f) \ge L(f)$$.

Definition 7.2.7:
A bounded function $$f$$ defined on $$[a,b]$$ is Riemann-integrable iff $$U(f)=L(f)$$. We define $\int_a^b f = U(f) = L(f)$

Theorem 7.2.8:
A bounded function $$f$$ is integrable on $$[a,b]$$ iff for all $$\e>0$$ there exists a partition $$P_\e$$ of $$[a,b]$$ such that $U(f,P_\e) - L(f,P_\e) < \e$

Theorem 7.2.9:
If $$f$$ is continuous on $$[a,b]$$, then $$f$$ is integrable.

Theorem 7.4.4.
Assume $$f_n\to f$$ uniformly on on $$[a,b]$$ and that each $$f_n$$ is integrable. Then $$f$$ is integrable and $\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_a^b f_n = \int_a^b f$

Theorem 7.5.1 (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus).

1. If $$f:[a,b]\to\R$$ is integrable and $$F:[a,b]\to\R$$ satisfies $$F'(x)=f(x)$$ for all $$x\in[a,b]$$, then $\int_a^b f = F(b)-F(a)$
2. Let $$g:[a,b]\to\R$$ be integrable, and for $$x\in[a,b]$$ define $G(x)=\int_a^x g$ Then $$G$$ is continuous on $$[a,b]$$.
If $$g$$ is continuous at some point $$c\in[a,b]$$ then $$G$$ is differentiable at $$c$$ and $$G'(c)=g(c)$$.
