MATM16F, 7.5 credits

Valid from: Spring 2018
Decided by: Professor Thomas Johansson
Date of establishment: 2018-03-02

General Information

Division: Mathematics
Course type: Course given jointly for second and third cycle
The course is also given at second-cycle level with course code: MATM16
Teaching language: English

Aim

The aim of the course is to consolidate and generalize resultats which the student already has encountered in earlier courses in analysis, to equip him or her with an adequate language for higher studies in mathematics, and to develop his or her ability to work with abstract concepts, which are defined through of axioms. In particular the course should form a bridge between the mathematics courses at the Faculty of Engineering and more advanced mathematics courses.

Goals

Knowledge and Understanding

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• be able to define and explain basic concepts in general topology, such as topological space, connected space, continuous map…
• be able to describe some common classes of av topologies
• be able to account for the different ways to define compactness.

Competences and Skills

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• be able to prove the theorems in the course
• be able to determine if a given family of sets forms a topological space
• be able to prove the compactness of a given topological space
• be able to actively reason with use of the terms in the course.

Course Contents

The fundamentals of the theory of metrical, topological and compact spaces. The Tietze extension theorem and Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem. Elementary properties of Banach and Hilbert spaces.
