MTH641 : Functional Analysis

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limitrelated structure e.g. inner product norm topology etc. and the linear functions defined on these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense.rnThis course focuses on Norm Space Banach Space Inner Product Space Hilbert Space and their properties.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course you should be able to

  • Understand and apply the concepts of metric spaces topological spaces convergence and separability.
  • Utilize Cauchy sequences as a fundamental concept in metric spaces understanding their significance in completeness and convergence.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of complete metric spaces recognizing the importance of completeness in mathematical analysis and problemsolving.
  • Explore normed spaces including the definition and properties of norms concept of Banach spaces recognizing the completeness of normed spaces and its significance in mathematical analysis.
  • Study linear operators gaining insight into their properties and applications within normed or metric spaces.Define linear operators between normed spaces and analyze their properties such as boundedness continuity and invertibility.
