Math 315 Final Exam Information Winter 2011

The Examination is in Lambton Tower 9118 from 8:30 to 11:30 pm Monday April 11. [We can move it to 9:30 till 12:30, if everyone agrees.] There are 12 questions, of which 10 make a full paper. At least one question will be taken directly from the previous tests. At least one question will be taken directly from assignments. Others may be simple modications of assignment questions. Some of the questions will ask to prove results from the text. Some questions may involve putting concepts from dierent sections together. As a general rule, if a question does not say otherwise, any other result done in class, or in the book, or on assignments may be used (but should be quoted). If I list a topic as omitted, you may still use the results, if you nd them convenient. Innite limits and limits at innity. You are are expected to be able to work with these and prove simple results about them. Uniform continuity. Cont. on a compact set implies unif. cont. Unif. continuous functions map Cauchy sequences to Cauchy sequences, etc. Sequential criterion for unif. cont. Extending uniformly continuous functions. Examples. Convex functions. Know the denition using (C0) and each of the other 4 forms, and simple consequences. We emphasized convex, but be able to handle strictly convex, concave and strictly concave as well. Be able to prove that if f is increasing on an interval I , then f is convex on I and that f convex on I implies f is right and left dierentiable. (Make sure you know what this means.) Omit the proof of the fancier result that a convex function is dierentiable except at a countable number of points. Riemann Integral; Existence of the Riemann integral. Know the Riemann denition thoroughly and Darbouxs characterization (without proof) and be able to handle simple examples. I could ask you to use the Riemann or the Darboux formulation, but if I dont say, you can use whichever you like. Be able to prove linearity, monotonicity, additivity over intervals. Know the Basic Integrability Criterion, and its use. In particular, be able to prove integrability of continuous functions, integrability of monotone functions, integrability over subintervals, and integrability of products of integrable functions. at least one of these 4 results will be asked. Omit the proofs of the Integral of composites result and the integrability of the Dirichlet function directly from the denition. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The proof and simple applications as in Assignments. Integration by Parts and Change of Variable are included. Lebesgues criterion for integrability. Omit. (But you may use the result if you like.) Pointwise and Uniform Convergence. Uniform Convergence: Continuity, Integral, Derivative. Omit the proofs of the interchange of limits under uniform continuity (the theorem on page 224). and of the Interchanging limit and derivative theorem. Otherwise, know these 2 sections thoroughly. You could be asked to prove sequences or series converge or diverge uniformly by the denition or by using preservation or limit interchange theorems (limit of continous, integrable, dierentiable functions, etc). Theorems are usually easier, if you have a choice. Be able to give examples under various conditions.(Sequence converges, but the integrals dont, etc. ) Be able to convert theorems about sequences into ones about series. This means you have to be sure the hypotheses pass to the sequence of partial sums.

A Continuous Nowhere Dierentiable Function. You dont need to know the details of the construction, but understand the basic technique: construction of new continuous functions by summing old ones. This is really part of the previous section. Taylors theorem. (Taylors Theorem was much earlier in the book.) Know both the Lagrange form and the Cauchy form of the remainder in Taylors Theorem, but without the proof. Power Series. Know most of the denitions and proofs. Omit the proofs of Abels Theorem and of the rst Cauchy product result (namely the one that describes the product of an absolutely convergent series and one which converges.) The use of these results, however, is included. Be sure you know what it means for a function to be the sum of its power series and in specic examples be able to prove it does so. This often means proving the remainder in Taylors theorem converges to 0. The exponential and trigonometric functions. You wont be asked to reproduce the development, but you could be asked questions that show you know the techniques, and how they are applied. Know the formulas for the series expansions of exp, sin, and cos. Dierentiation of vector-valued and complex-valued functions. This section consists only of the denition and things that can be deduced as easy exercises from earlier work, except for the Mean Value Inequality (the theorem on page 251), which you should study. The chain rule in this setting is doable (in the version on the bottom of p. 251). Integration of vector valued functions. Again, not much here, but know it, up to and including the derivation of the integral formula for arclength. Be able also to discuss arc-length when there is no integral to help you, as in assignments. Dierentiation of vector functions of a vector variable. Omit the proof of the chain rule. Admissable are the denition of derivative and the straightforward properties (sum rule, constant multiple rule, derivative of a constant function, derivative of a linear transformation.) You should also be able to obtain directional derivatives and partial derivatives from a dierentiable function. The characterization of continuous dierentiability is included. The product rule in this setting is not. The Inverse Function Theorem. The only proof from this section that might be asked is the Mean Value Inequality. But, you should know the statement of the IFT and interpret it for specic examples.
