Analysis of the real line

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to describe the course, Analysis of the Real Line, taught at The University of Texas at Austin. Course materials are presented using the inquiry based learning method. Students work a series of warm up problems before being presented rigorous problems in calculus, including topics on integration, exponential functions, and real number line analysis. Additionally, students consider aspects of these problems that could be incorporated into a high school curriculum. Typical problems in several major areas are summarized along with warm up problems that introduce or extend the topics.
