Teaching Notes

 

The following are my lectures notes from the courses that I taught at Yale University

Linear Algebra: click here!

This course covers proofs and standard linear algebra subjects including fields, vector spaces, linear maps, matrix algebra, determinants, systems of linear equations, and eigenvalues/eigenvectors. The linear algebra portion follows Linear Algebra (5th ed.) by Friedberg, Insel, and Spence (Pearson), though I deviate from the text during the chapter on determinants.

Analysis I: click here! (Lecture 1 are slides)

This course covers construction of the real numbers, limits and continuity, metric space topology, single variable differential and integral calculus, and Taylor polynomials/series. The last third of the course follows portions of Advanced Calculus 2nd Ed by Gerald Folland, which one can find at the author’s homepage here.

Vector Analysis and Integration on Manifolds: click here!

This course is a continuation of Analysis I above and develops differential and integral calculus in several variables, inverse/implicit function theorem, embedded submanifolds of Euclidean space, tensor algebra and differential forms, culminating in the generalized Stokes’ Theorem. Roughly the first 70% of the course follows portions of Advanced Calculus 2nd Ed by Gerald Folland, which one can find at the author’s homepage here.
