Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge
- By the end of the module students will: be able to solve novel and/or complex problems in Analysis.
- have a systematic and coherent understanding of theoretical mathematics in the field of Analysis.
- have acquired a coherent body of knowledge of these subjects demonstrated through one or more of the following topic areas: Metric spaces: compactness.
- Completeness.
- Contraction mappings.
- Picard theorem.
- Function Spaces: Stone-Weierstrass theorem.
- Arzela-Ascoli theorem.
- Normal families.
- Integration: Riemann integral.
- Darboux theorem.
- Sets of measure zero.
- Harmonic functions: maximum principle.
- Dirichlet problem and poisson formula.
- Conformal mapping: Schwarz lemma.
- Reflection principle.
- Schwarz-Chistoffel formula.
- Riemann mapping theorem.
Subject-specific Skills
- Students will have highly specialised and advanced mathematical skills which will be used with minimal guidance in the following areas: spatial awareness.
Key Skills
- Students will have enhanced problem solving skills.
Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- Lectures demonstrate what is required to be learned and the application of the theory to practical examples.
- Assignments for self-study develop problem-solving skills and enable students to test and develop their knowledge and understanding.
- Formatively assessed assignments provide practice in the application of logic and high level of rigour as well as feedback for the students and the lecturer on students' progress.
- The end-of-year examination assesses the knowledge acquired and the ability to solve predictable and unpredictable problems.
Teaching Methods and Learning Hours

Formative Assessment
Four written assignments to be assessed and returned. Other assignments are set for self-study and complete solutions are made available to students.
Students who do not attend monitored activities shown under Teaching Methods
and Learning Hours, or who fail to complete the summative or formative
assessment(s) specified above, may be subject to the Academic Progress
procedures defined in the University's General Regulation V, and may be
required to leave the University.
