Analysis is terminology intensive.
It is impossible to understand the theorems, which are stated in the terminology of Analysis, unless you first understand the definitions that make up the terminology.
Quiz 1 will consist entirely of definitions and terminology. As on quizzes in MA361, you will be given a table with a column of terms and a column of definitions, and asked to match each term to the definition that best fits.
The terms will be taken from the following list:
