Unit description Unit description
This unit is concerned with a review of the limiting processes of real analysis and an introduction to functional analysis. Through the discussion of such abstract notions as metric spaces, normed vector spaces and inner product spaces, we can appreciate an elegant and powerful combination of ideas from analysis and linear algebra.

Learning Outcomes

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

  • ULO1: demonstrate a well- developed knowledge of the principles, concepts and techniques of a broad range of areas in analysis and applied mathematics, with significant depth in analysis and functional analysis.
  • ULO2: demonstrate an understanding of the breadth of mathematics, the multi-disciplinary role of mathematics and the way it contributes the development in other related fields of study.
  • ULO3: construct sustained logical, clearly presented and justified mathematical arguments incorporating deductive reasoning.
  • ULO4: formulate and model practical and abstract problems in mathematical terms using a variety of methods drawn from analysis and functional analysis.
  • ULO5: apply mathematical principles, concepts, techniques and technology efficiently to solve practical and abstract problems across a range of areas in analysis and functional analysis.
  • ULO6: interpret mathematical information communicated in wide range of forms.

General Assessment Information

Late Assessment Submission Penalty   

From 1 July 2022, Students enrolled in Session based units with written assessments will have the following late penalty applied. Please see https://students.mq.edu.au/study/assessment-exams/assessments for more information.   

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of '0' will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11:55 pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern.   

For any late submission of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, and/or scheduled practical assessments/labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.    

Assessments where Late Submissions will be accepted 

In this unit, late submissions will be accepted as follows: 

Assignment 1, Assignment 2 – YES, Standard Late Penalty applies  Test 1, Test 2, Final Exam - NO, unless Special Consideration is granted
