Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The following are the learning objectives for the Honours version, MAT-3-PAA; for this (Ordinary) version there is more emphasis on the technical, rather than conceptual elements, which will be reflected by a different examination.
1. Understanding the definitions and concepts of convergence, Cauchy sequences, and completeness in R and C.
2. Understanding the notions of open and closed subsets of Rn and their relationship to convergence.
3. Ability to test sequences and series of functions for uniform convergence.
4. Familiarity with the idea that problems of analysis such as convergence of Fourier series can be couched in and resolved using the language of metric spaces.
5. Understanding basic Harmonic Analysis techniques and their use in PDEs
