Description

This module covers the essential parts of classical and modern Analysis as required for future courses on Probability and Statistics, Differential Equations, and Partial Differential Equations. The topics covered by this course include but are not restricted to: Metric spaces, Continuous functions, Convolutions, and Fourier Analysis

Learning Outcomes

1. Learn important mathematical concepts as used in subsequent courses in Probability Theory, Stochastic Processes, Differential Equations, and Partial Differential Equations
2. Apply theoretical concepts to particular modelling and computational problems related with real-world applications



Workload Full-time hours per semester
Type Hours Description
Lecture36Students will attend lectures where new material will be presented and explained. Also attention will be drawn to various supporting material and tutorials as the course progresses.
Tutorial12Students will show their solutions to homework questions and will receive help with and feed-back on these solutions.
Independent Study78Corresponding to each lecture students will devote approximately one additional hour of independent study to the material discussed in that lecture or to work on support material when attention is drawn to such in lectures. Before each tutorial students will devote approximately three and a half hours to solving homework problems which are to be discussed in that tutorial.
Total Workload: 126
