Objectives and competences

Student gets familiar with basic concepts point-set topology, such as connectedness, compactness, separation properties, topology on products and function spaces.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding: Understanding of notions such as topology, continuous map, connectedness and compactnes. Knowledge of basic concepts of the above notions and connection with other areas of mathematics.
Application: Point-set topology is one of the basic mathematical courses. Student gets familiar with basic definitions and techniques that are fondations for several other mathematical courses.
Reflection: Understanding of the theory from the applications.
Transferable skills: The ability to formualate a problem in suitable language, find a solution of the problems and analyse the method on real examples.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, homework, consultations

Assessment

Practical and theoretical knowledge are graded separately.

Practical knowledge is assessed based on two tests (15% of the grade each) and the final exercise based exams (70% of the grade).

Theoretical knowledge is normally assessed as an oral exam.

grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
