May 6, 2020 at 23:54 comment added Nights @Adam I have contacted several publishers; it's interesting that in general they don't seem to know the content of their textbooks.
May 6, 2020 at 23:54 comment added Nights @DaveLRenfro I'm sure you can think of an answer to your own question. Many teachers rely on slides, for reasons that may or may not be practical (i.e. students refuse to read textbooks; slides make the content more succinct; regardless of who's creating the class). I'm guessing you are also a teacher, and as you gather I am already a teacher, your answer is not helpful.
May 6, 2020 at 23:53 comment added Nights @XanderHenderson you're aware lots of textbooks come with publisher-made powerpoint slides, or maybe not? I am asking for an introductory analysis book that may come with some. Some strange responses here.
May 5, 2020 at 19:28 comment added Xander Henderson I don't meant to be rude, but, at the possibility of causing offense: when I am asked to teach a class, it is assumed that I will prepare my own course. If I want to use slides, then I will prepare them myself. It seems that you are kind of asking MESE to "do your homework" for you.
May 5, 2020 at 4:49 comment added Adam Have you contacted the publisher? They often have such resources for calculus texts; maybe they have some such thing here as well?

May 4, 2020 at 19:21 comment added Dave L Renfro As an example (not real analysis, however) of my last sentence, see the various comments I made and safety checks I used in the following ODE solution. Or maybe something like this or this, which are real analysis related. I'm not suggesting you actually try to work in these specific real analysis topics, by the way, but rather I'm using them as examples of how you might want to supplement the textbook as appropriate for your students.
May 4, 2020 at 19:08 comment added Dave L Renfro Maybe I'm missing some cultural context, but if the students are already going to be reading and studying from a required textbook, why do you need formal content in slides? Write slides yourself that fill in what you believe they'll have difficulty with -- I assume you have some idea what their background is and what their ability level is, certainly more than random people on the internet would have. Things like what happens if you switch quantifer order in some of the definitions, motivating examples for the concept, standard strategies for solving problems and proving theorems, etc.

May 4, 2020 at 18:33 comment added Brendan W. Sullivan @Nights: I recommend adding that information to the original post, and clearly state your question. This will hopefully lead to some better answers.
May 4, 2020 at 17:16 comment added Nights @BenCrowell Your point? I'm teaching a remote 5-week online course that's already pre-determined as being purely in the format of dictated lecture slides.
May 4, 2020 at 16:57 comment added user507 There seems to be an unstated assumption here that this is a reasonable way to approach teaching.
