Topology and Introduction to Functional Analysis
Objectives
Our couse is intended to familiarize the students with the basic concepts, principles and methods of topology and functional analysis. Although the emphasis is mainly on normed linear spaces, with arbitrary dimension, some of the results are established in topological linear spaces. We study the basis of the more advanced theory of normed, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces without which the usefulness of these spaces and their applications would be rather limited.

Teaching method
Theoretical issues are presented and explained in the theoretical class (3h/week). These issues are applied by students in the pratical class (3h/week).
Evaluation method
Evaluation is made by two tests along the semester or a final exam. The final classification is the weighted mean of the classification of the tests or, in alternative, the mark obtained in the final exam.
