MATH 402/502 - HOMEWORK PROBLEMS - Spring 2016

Final Projects

Homework 8 (due on Thursday April 28, 2016): Do at least 5 problems (Exercises 6.1.4 and 6.4.1 count like just one problem).

  • Exercises 6.1.4 and 6.4.1 (linear transformations are continuous continuous, and continuously differentiable).
  • Exercise 6.2.2 (uniqueness of derivatives).
  • Exercise 6.3.1 (differentiable implies directional derivatives).
  • Exercise 6.3.3 (directional derivatives do not imply differentiable).
  • Exercise 6.4.3 (chain rule).
  • Exercise 6.5.1 (non example - Clairaut's Theorem).
  • Exercise 6.6.7 (Contraction Mapping theorem).
  • Exercise 6.6.8 (Nearby contractions have nearby fixed points).
  • Exercise 6.7.3 (application of Inverse Function Theorem).

    Reading Assignment: Chapter 6.

    Homework 7 (due on Thursday April 14, 2016)

  • Exercise 4.2.5 and 4.2.6 (polynomials are real analytic. (In 2nd edition there is a typo in the formula in 4.2.5).
  • Exercise 4.3.1 (summation by parts formula).
  • Exercise 4.5.1 (basic properties of exponential)
  • Exercise 4.5.6 (show that the natural logarithm is real analytic for x>0).

    Reading Assignment: Chapter 4.

    Homework 6 (due on Thursday April 1st, 2016)

  • Exercise 3.2.2(c) (exploring convergence and uniform convergence of a geometric power series).
  • Exercises 3.3.4-3.3.5 ( convergence of f_n(x_n) given uniform or pointwise convergence of f_n to f and convergence of x_n to x).
  • Exercise 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 (the space of continuous functions is complete).
  • Exercises 3.6.1 and 3.7.3 (interplay between uniform convergence of series, integration and differentiation).

    Reading Assignment: Chapter 3.

    Homework 5 (due Tuesday March 8, 2016): Do one exercise per section (4 total).

  • Section 2.1: Exercises 2.1.5 (inclusion map is continuous).
  • Section 2.1: Exercise 2.1.6 (restriction of a continuous map is continuous).
  • Section 2.2: Exercise 2.2.2 (prove that the maximum function is continuous only).
  • Section 2.2: Exercise 2.2.5 (polynomials of two variables are continuous).
  • Section 2.2: Exercise 2.2.11 (continuity for each variable does not ensure continuity on R^2).
  • Section 2.3: Exercise 2.3.4 (composition preserves uniform continuity).
  • Section 2.4: Exercise 2.4.4 (continuity preserves connectedness)
  • Section 2.4: Exercise 2.4.5 (intermediate value theorem)

    Reading assignment: Section 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

    Homework 4 (due Tuesday March 1st, 2016): Problems from Book II 3rd edition Chapter 1 (in earlier editions this is Chapter 12). Do at least 4 of the given exercises.

  • Exercise 1.1.3 (b)(d) (examples of "sets and pseudometrics" that fail to be a metric).
  • Exercise 1.1.5 (Cauchy-Schwarz in R^n and how to use it to get triangle inequality).
  • Exercise 1.1.12 (show only that (d) is equivalent to one of the others, because we already showed in class that (a), (b) and (c) are equivalent)
  • Exercise 1.4.1 (all subsequences of a convergent sequence converge and to the same limit).
  • Exercise 1.4.3 (convergent sequences are Cauchy sequences).
  • Exercise 1.5.12 (complete and compact in discrete metric).
  • Use the open cover property of a compact set to show that the set must be closed and bounded.
