Prerequisites
To enroll in this course, you should have passed Math 707 (or equivalent) with a grade of C or better.
Course Objectives
This course is an develops to graduate-level analysis further. The primary objective will be to explore introductory functional analysis and operator theory, using examples from previous Real Analysis courses.
Assessment
Assessment consist of two parts: occasional problems given out over the semester (worth 40%); and a take-home final (worth 60%).
The problems will be graded either correct or incorrect, but may be submitted multiple times - the objective is to get all the problems completely correct before the end of semester. Problems will be graded in one-on-one discussions during office hours. When you think you have a problem solved to your satisfaction, meet with me during office hours (or at another convenient time) to discuss the problems you are submitting. I will either grade the problem as correct, or indicate what improvements need to be made to provide a satisfactory solution. You may meet at any time during the semester, so don't wait until the last week to have your problems graded.
The final will be available during finals week - more details will be provided towards the end of the semester. You will have roughly a week to complete the assigned problems.
Missed Assessments
Generally, late homework or assignments will not be accepted; nor will there be make up exams for missed exams. Under special circumstances, however, a student may be permitted to make up work which they were unable to submit, or exams which they were unable to attend. These circumstances include:
- Representing UNLV in an official extracurricular activity.
- Observance of a religious holiday.
- Personal illness or family medical emergency.
If a student is absent from class for any reason, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that they know what happened in the class which was missed, either by asking Dr. Webster or fellow students.
