As a junior faculty member, I admire how you ask students to have time of consideration between what definitions refer to. We often forget definitions are defined for reason.

Hello Bill, I love the content. Your explanations are second to none. I can't wait for you to explain "Compactness". I have one question: In these epsilon/delta definitions of limit and continuity of a function (at a specified point of a set U or I), shouldn't the existing delta be dependent upon the given epsilon? I want to thank you for your content.

Thanks! Yes, the delta is dependent on the given epsilon. Sometimes that is emphasized with function notation δ(ε) but sometimes it's just understood.

Hello again Bill. Since you're covering "Baby Rubin" so thoroughly. Is it possible for you to provide some (possibly detail) explanation as to how Rubin comes up with the number "p + 2" in showing that a certain set of real number have "gaps". If memory serves me, this is located in the very beginning pages of Principles of Mathematical Analysis 3rd Edition. I think this would be helpful to me and to others. Thanks in advance Bill

On question 12 does the constant function f(x) = c for some constant real number work as a counter-example?

If you allow monotone increasing to include constant functions in your definition of monotone increasing, then it does. If you don't, then it doesn't (sometimes people call it "strictly" increasing for the second case).
