Course introduction
Topological properties are used in most mathematical areas and the aim of the course is to provide knowledge of the fundamental topological properties of metric and topological spaces, in particular the Euclidian spaces.
Expected learning outcome
By the end of the course the students are expected to be able to:
-- solve (written) problems (including "proof problems") concerning the course topics, including in particular
* open and closed sets in metric and topological spaces
* convergence of sequences and series
* continuity
* compact sets
* connected sets
* completeness
-- formulate the answers in a correct mathematical language.
Subject overview
1. The topological properties of the Euclidian spaces, metric and topological spaces.
2. Continuity of functions.
3. Convergence of sequences and series.
4. Compact sets, including the characterization of compact subsets of the Euclidian spaces (the theorem of Heine-Borel).
5. Connected sets.
6. Completeness of the Euclidian spaces.
