Course detail

Functional Analysis I

FSI-SU1 Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester

The course deals with basic concepts and principles of functional analysis concerning, in particular, metric, linear normed, and unitary spaces. Elements of the theory of Lebesgue measure and Lebesgue integral will also be mentioned. It will be shown how the results are applied in solving problems of mathematical analysis and numerical mathematics.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Basic knowledge of metric, linear, normed and unitary spaces, elements of Lebesgue integral, and related concepts. Ability to apply these knowledges in practice.

Prerequisites

Differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, elements of the set theory, elements of numerical mathematics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining theoretical background and basic principles of the discipline. Exercises are focused on managing practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively (the attendance is compulsory) and passed two control tests during the semester. Examination: It has oral form. Theory as well as examples will be discussed. Students should show they are familiar with basic topics and principles of the discipline and they are able to illustrate the theory in particular situations.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with basic topics and procedures of functional analysis, which can be used in other branches of mathematics.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in seminars will be checked. Students have to pass two tests.
