Topology and Introduction to Functional Analysis

Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide the student with the concepts, methods and elementary techniques of GeneralTopology and Functional Analysis. The course provides the foundations of the most advanced theory of normed spaces, Banach spaces, and Hilbert spaces, and despite the special emphasis on normed linear spaces (ofarbitrary dimension), structural and fundamental results are established in general topological spaces, essentials for the student who wishes to pursue advanced studies in mathematics.

Teaching method

During the Theoretical-Practical classes, the different contents of this course will be exposed. Students will be asked to solve exercises and elaborate proofs of some of the different results presented. Any questions or doubts will be addressed during the classes, or during the weekly sessions specially programmed to this effect

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.
