Summary
Within the course the students will be introduced in fundamental notions of functional analysis, which is a subject unifying results and methods of many classical mathematical disciplines (algebra, geometry, calculus). It identifies and emphasizes what they have in common and, further, it generalizes them. Functional analysis is involved in various parts of mathematics and its applications and it provides tools enabling to formulate as well as solve complex practical problems. The introduced abstract notions will be demonstrated at examples and applications.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The course aims at introducing the students in fundamentals of functional analysis. In order to solve a number of technical problems, it is necesarry to master this (rather technical) discipline.
