Robert 'Dr. Bob' Gardner

This website includes links to class notes and supplements (in PDF) used in the teaching of East Tennessee State University's Real Analysis 1 (MATH 5210). Links are also available for video presentations of the notes. The videos have been used as of the teaching of online Real Analysis 1, starting in fall 2020. The material is largely based on H. L. Royden and P.M. Fitzpatrick Real Analysis, 4th Edition, Pearson (2010):

Royden and Fitzpatrick's Real Analysis book, 4th edition


Robert "Dr. Bob" Gardner can be reached by e-mail at: gardnerr@etsu.edu. His office is in Gilbreath Hall, Room 308F on the ETSU campus.


The following notes and supplements are all in PDF. The videos can be streamed from YouTube and should remain permanently available. (The videos previously on ETSU's Panopto host site have been, or may soon be, deleted.)
