Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
The contents of Calculus I (MM501) and Calculus II (MM502) must be known.
Course introductionTopological 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.
QualificationsThe students shall learn the techniques of a mathematical proof and will be introduced to various subjects in the basic theory of metric and topological spaces. In particular the course will concentrate on the topology of the Euclidian spaces. After having followed the course the students are expected to
• understand the fundamental topological concepts such as open and closed sets, compact sets and continuity of functions.
• be able to use topological arguments, including compactness arguments, in concrete situations in mathematics and in areas where mathematics is applied.
Expected learning outcomeSubject overview1. 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.
