Learning Prerequisites

Required courses

Analysis I, II, III

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Describe the fundamental concepts on the Lebesgue measure, the Lebesgue integration and the Fourier series/transform
  • Define the objects and prove their properties
  • Solve exercises and identify meaningful examples
  • Use the Fourier series/transform to solve linear PDEs

Teaching methods

Lectures and assisted/discussed exercises

Assessment methods

  • Written exam. A midterm will be organized and the final grade will be assigned according to a formula like
    Final grade = \max { Final grade, 0.4 * Midterm grade + 0.6 * Final grade }

Supervision

Assistants Yes
