    Course Learning Outcomes
    In 2018, the topic of this course is Functional Analysis

    Introduction

    Motivated by the development of calculus of variation, integral equations, approximation theory and quantum physics in early years of the twenties century, functional analysis has grown into a broad field of modern analysis. This subject is the study of infinite dimensional linear topological spaces as well as properties of linear maps among these spaces, using analysis, algebra and geometry. Just as finite dimensional vector space is the representation space to linear algebra, Hilbert space is the natural representation space to functional analysis. Analysis and spectral theory of linear operators on Hilbert spaces are essential tools in mathematics, physics, and many branches in engineering sciences, especially in fields of Partial Differential Equation, Quantum Mechanics, Signal Processing, Ergodic Theory and Dynamics.

    This course focuses on important examples, properties, and linear operators on Hilbert spaces, and leads to spectral theorem of Hermite operators. Time permitted, we shall explore some advanced topics of the field. This course is fundamental to students planning to study and research in modern mathematics and/or physics.

    The course will cover the following topics.

    1. Hilbert spaces (4 lectures).
    2. Bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces and fundamental theorems in functional analysis (8 lectures).
    3. Special operators (6 lectures).
    4. Compact operators and its spectral decompositions (4 lectures).
    5. Spectral decomposition of Hermite operators (6 lectures).
    6. Advanced topics (sample: unbounded operators, representation of groups, Fourier analysis) (2 lectures).

    Learning Outcomes

    On successful completion of this course, students will be able to

    1. Understand properties of Hilbert spaces and their bounded linear operators; know how to apply these properties;
    2. Identify and work on key examples involving Hilbert space analysis;
    3. Understand meaning of spectrum and compute spectrum of specific examples;
    4. State and prove spectral theorem for compact and for Hermite operators;
    5. Know some concrete applications of spectral theorem.

    Prerequisites

    The course requires point set topology, basic measure theory, firm background in linear algebra. Good knowledge of complex analysis and real analysis would be desirable. It is recommended that students have taken Topology and analysis III previously and are familiar with basics ideas of linear algebra and groups.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The lecturer guides the students through the course material in 30 lectures. Students are expected to engage with the material in the lectures. Interaction with the lecturer and discussion of any difficulties that arise during the lecture is encouraged. Fortnightly homework assignments help students strengthen their understanding of the theory and their skills in applying it, and allow them to gauge their progress.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment taskTask typeDueWeightingLearning outcomes
    Examination Summative Examination period 70% All
    Homework assignments Formative and summative One week after assigned 30% All
    Assessment Related Requirements
    An aggregate score of 50% is required to pass the course.
    Assessment Detail
    There will be a total of 6 homework assignments, distributed during every 4 lectures and due within 1 week. Each will cover material from the lectures and, in addition, will sometimes go beyond that so that students may have to undertake some additional research.
    Submission
    Homework assignments must be given to the lecturer in person or emailed as a pdf. Failure to meet the deadline without reasonable and verifiable excuse may result in a significant penalty for that assignment.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit
    D 75-84 Distinction
    HD 85-100 High Distinction
    CN   Continuing
    NFE   No Formal Examination
    RP   Result Pending

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
