Jan 12 Jan 21 Prove Theorem 4-2 (the Squeeze
Theorem), using the epsilon-
delta definition of limit
|h(x)-L|\leq |h(x)-f(x)|+|f(x)-L|
\leq |g(x)-f(x)|+|f(x)-L|    (why?)
\leq |g(x)-L|+|L-f(x)|+|f(x)-L|
=|g(x)-L|+2|f(x)-L|
or for another approach, obtain
L-epsilon < f(x) \leq h(x) \leq g(x)
< L + epsilon
Jan 12 Jan 21 Prove Theorem 4-2 (the Squeeze
Theorem), using Theorem 4-1
and problem 2-1 #9(b)
 
Jan 19 Jan 26 4-1 #2(a)(b)(e), 4-1 #12  
Jan 21 Jan 28 4-1 #7 use epsilon-delta (or sequences)
to check that f(x)=x is continuous,
then use Thm 4-3 and induction

Jan 31 Feb 7 4-1 #24, 25(a),(b),(c)  
Feb 4 Feb 11 4-2 Prove that lim_{x \to 0} ln(x) = -infinity  
Feb 4 Feb 11 4-2 #2(b)(c) for (b), M = 2/epsilon will work
for (c), note that when x < 0,
sqrt (3) = - sqrt (3x^2) / x
Feb 4 Feb 11 4-2 #2(d), 8  
Feb 16 Feb 23 5-1 #9  
Feb 18 Feb 25 Let f(x) = x^2 if x is rational and
x^4 if x is irrational. Prove f is
continuous only at x= -1, 0, and 1,
and differentiable only at x=0
Thm 4-1 and Coro 4-2 can
be used
Feb 18 Feb 25 5-1 #7  
Feb 21 Feb 28 5-2 #2 for (b), sqrt(x) is an example (use
a theorem to verify that it is
uniformly continuous).
You can actually find an example
differentiable on [0,1] by altering
the example x^2 sin(1/x).
