  • topology
  • analysis

Qualification Goals

The students

  • Have gained insight into current research in calculus or topology,
  • have practiced dealing with research literature,
  • understand the genesis of new mathematical results,
  • have deepened their mathematical knowledge in a special area of analysis or topology,
  • can independently access current scientific articles from national and international journals,
  • have deepened mathematical working methods (developing mathematical intuition and its formal justification, abstraction, proof),
  • have improved their oral communication skills in exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and in 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, the competences that are taught in the intermediate modules (depending on the topic) are recommended.
