Teaching methods
Lectures. During the lectures the basic results of the functional analysis
will be analyzed and discussed. Many examples will be provided to show
how and where the
abstract results can be applied to make the students understand better
the relevance of what they are studying.
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam consists of two parts: a written part and an oral part. The exam
is aimed at evaluating the knowledge of the abstract results seen during
the course, their proofs and the skills of the students in using such
results.
