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:
- Topology.
- Measure theory.
- Functional analysis.
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.
