Qualification Goals
The students shall
- learn to recognize and assess the relevance of functional analytical methods for practical problems, e.g. from numerical analysis, , and to acquire the functional analytical tools to solve these problems,
- learn how methods of linear algebra, analysis and topology interact,
- Re-evaluate knowledge from the basic modules and some advanced modules (e.g. ''complex analysis and vector analysis''),
- recognize the relationships of functional analysis to other areas of mathematics and other sciences,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Foundations of Mathematics and Linear Algebra I and Linear Algebra II or Basic Linear Algebra, either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis. In addition, knowledge of general integration theory is recommended, as taught in the modules Measure and Integration Theory or Complex Analysis and Vector Analysis.
