MATH7901 – Analysis

2021 – Session 1, Special circumstances

Notice

As part of Phase 3 of our return to campus plan, most units will now run tutorials, seminars and other small group activities on campus, and most will keep an online version available to those students unable to return or those who choose to continue their studies online.

To check the availability of face-to-face and online activities for your unit, please go to timetable viewer. To check detailed information on unit assessments visit your unit's iLearn space or consult your unit convenor.

Unit description Unit description
This unit provides an advanced introduction to the key areas of research interest in modern analysis. We will study Lebesgue integration, positive Borel measures, and the all important function spaces Lp. Then we will study the elementary Hilbert space theory and Banach space techniques. This will provide familiarity with some of the major theorems which make up the analysis toolbox: Monotone and Dominated Convergence theorems; Fatou's lemma; Egorov's theorem; Lusin's theorem; Radon-Nikodym theorem; Fubini-Tonelli theorems about product measures and integration on product spaces; Uniform Boundedness; Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for Lebesgue Integrals; Minkowski's Inequality; Holder's Inequality; Jensen's Inequality; and Bessel's Inequality.

Important Academic Dates

Information about important academic dates including deadlines for withdrawing from units are available at https://www.mq.edu.au/study/calendar-of-dates

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  • ULO2: Analyse the abstract setting of metric space, Banach space and Hilbert space, and evaluate their utility to study particular areas of differential equations and calculus in higher dimension setting.
  • ULO1: Demonstrate the abstract setting and the logical arguments in metric spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, and formulate the structure on positive Borel measure, and the Lebesgue spaces, including the Riesz representation theorem and the approximation by continuous functions
  • ULO3: Analyse the structure of Lebesgue spaces, and evaluate the utility of this setting to study particular areas of Fourier series and Fourier transforms, harmonic functions and Poisson integral
  • ULO4: Create a precise mathematical problem from the specific modelling by applying these abstract settings, and discuss the solution by synthesising the methods in the theory of Banach space and Hilbert space

General Assessment Information

ATTENDANCE and PARTICIPATION: Please contact the unit convenor as soon as possible if you have difficulty attending and participating in any classes. There may be alternatives available to make up the work. If there are circumstances that mean you will miss a class, you can apply for Special Consideration via ask.mq.edu.au.

ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION: Assignment submission will be online through the iLearn page.

Submit assignments online via the appropriate assignment link on the iLearn page. A personalised cover sheet is not required with online submissions. Read the submission statement carefully before accepting it as there are substantial penalties for making a false declaration.

  • Assignment submission is via iLearn. You should upload this as a single scanned PDF file.
  • Please note the quick guide on how to upload your assignments provided on the iLearn page.
  • Please make sure that each page in your uploaded assignment corresponds to only one A4 page (do not upload an A3 page worth of content as an A4 page in landscape). If you are using an app like Clear Scanner, please make sure that the photos you are using are clear and shadow-free.
  • It is your responsibility to make sure your assignment submission is legible.
  • If there are technical obstructions to your submitting online, please email us to let us know.

You may submit as often as required prior to the due date/time. Please note that each submission will completely replace any previous submissions. It is in your interests to make frequent submissions of your partially completed work as insurance against technical or other problems near the submission deadline.

LATE SUBMISSION OF WORK: All assessment tasks must be submitted by the official due date and time. In the case of a late submission for a non-timed assessment (e.g. an assignment), if special consideration has NOT been granted, 20% of the earned mark will be deducted for each 24-hour period (or part thereof) that the submission is late for the first 2 days (including weekends and/or public holidays). For example, if an assignment is submitted 25 hours late, its mark will attract a penalty equal to 40% of the earned mark. After 2 days (including weekends and public holidays) a mark of 0% will be awarded. Timed assessment tasks (e.g. tests, examinations) do not fall under these rules.
