Homework 0     (Due Sunday, February 2, 6:00 pm) I encourage you to start working on Homework 0 as early as possible. When I took my first PhD-level analysis course, I encountered many facts that were assumed to be common knowledge but had never been covered in my prior education. To help you avoid a similar experience, I’ve collected some of these incredibly useful “facts” as exercises in this assignment—concepts that are often assumed but not explicitly taught. I hope you approach this homework with the same enthusiasm you brought to the prerequisite exam last fall. I’m genuinely looking forward to having many engaging discussions with you during office hours about the problems in this homework. HOMEWORK_0.pdf Note: Please carefully read the syllabus. If you have any questions about the syllabus, please come to my office hours.
