Advanced topics in analysis drawn from pure and applied mathematics.
Desired Learning Outcomes
Students should gain familiarity with a particular area of algebra selected by the instructor.
Prerequisites
Minimal learning outcomes
Minimal learning outcomes cannot be specified for a course in which topics will vary from year to year. However, regardless of the topic, successful students will know terminology, statements and approaches to problems undergoing active research, and major results in the area and techniques used to prove them. Students will demonstrate this knowledge by working suitable problems and developing their own proofs, and by presenting and writing work inside and outside of class.
Examples of topics that may be offered include:
- Metric number theory, using G. Harman, Metric Number Theory, Oxford University Press, 1998.
- The theory of L-functions, using Non-vanishing of L-functions and Applications, M. R. Murty and V. K. Murty, Birkhä user, 1997.
