This section contains documents that could not be made accessible to screen reader software. A "#" symbol is used to denote such documents.

The writing assignment for the second half of the course is a paper, written in LaTeX, that has been revised twice, on a topic closely related to the material in 18.100. For example, one could start with one or more exercises in Rudin related to a common topic (e.g., Baire's theorem, the Cantor set, Cauchy sequences, conditionally convergent series, the Riemann zeta function etc.). Then, the subject can be developed by consulting some other reference (e.g., a short note or article in the American Mathematical Monthly, or a section in some other book). The final paper should be approximately 5 pages long. The writing should be aimed at a typical MIT math major.

Some suggested topics can be found here. (PDF)
