From: http://math.etsu.edu/multicalc/Chap2/Chap2-2/index.htmMotivation:To begin with, let us define any connected open set that contains a point p to be a neighborhood of p. For example, an open ball of radius d > 0 about p, which is the set of all x such that || x-p || < d, is a neighborhood of p. Any open rectangle containing p is also a neighborhood of p.Extreme Value Thm: If f: [a, b] R is continuous, then $ c, d [a, b] s.t. f(c) ≤ f(x) ≤ f(d) x [a, b].What is the minimum hypothesis such that the Extreme Value Theorem holds: Suppose f: X Y…__________________________________________________________________Some common symbols:$ = there exists = unique $ = there exists a unique = for all = s.t. = such thathttp://www.sparknotes.com/math/calcab/applicationsofthederivative/section3.rhtmly Y Y : lower case = element Upper case = setCaligraphy {\cal Y} = collection of sets._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Want to learn more about point-set topology:Do a MathSciNet search: http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/Use MSC Primary: 54 for general topologyTo find other MSC numbers: http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/searchMSC.htmlIf you are off-campus, you will need to log into MathSciNet via the Math Library website: http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/math/index.htmlNote most articles found by MathSciNet are research articles.
