MATH-506                 Functional Analysis

Description

This course extends methods of linear algebra and analysis to spaces of functions, in which the interaction between algebra and analysis allows powerful methods to be developed. The course will be mathematically sophisticated and will use ideas both from linear algebra and analysis.

Learning Outcomes

This course will enable students to connect the algebraic concepts with analysis. Students will be able to understand the concept of metric spaces and their completeness. The concept of normed and Banach spaces gives relation between vector spaces and metric spaces. Moreover, students will learn the scope of inner product and Hilbert spaces.
