Prerequisites

The first and second year Analysis courses of the mathematics degree. It is also useful, but not essential, to have followed the course on Real and Functional Analysis

Objectives and Contextualisation

The main objective is to describe the way in which Harmonic Analysis allows to decompose a function as a sum of elementary waves and the applications of this principle

Competences

  • Actively demonstrate high concern for quality when defending or presenting the conclusions of one's work.
  • Assimilate the definition of new mathematical objects, relate them with other contents and deduce their properties.
  • Develop critical thinking and reasoning and know how to communicate it effectively, both in one's own languages and in a third language.
  • Effectively use bibliographies and electronic resources to obtain information.
  • Formulate hypotheses and devise strategies to confirm or reject them.
  • Generate innovative and competitive proposals for research and professional activities.
  • Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.
  • Students must be capable of collecting and interpreting relevant data (usually within their area of study) in order to make statements that reflect social, scientific or ethical relevant issues.
  • Students must develop the necessary learning skills to undertake further training with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.

The standard one in Mathematics. Discussion of definitions, examples and Theorems. We will also have problem sessions.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.


Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Exercises 40% 1 0.04 1, 2, 10, 4, 5, 9, 8, 6, 7, 3
Final Exam 50% 4 0.16 1, 2, 10, 4, 5, 9, 8, 6, 7, 3
Oral Exam 10% 10 0.4 1, 2, 10, 4, 5, 9, 8, 6, 7, 3 

The subject will be evaluated according to the three activities and their weights shown in the table. 
										
											
										
											Students who do not pass the course can repeat the final exam with the same weight.

THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING ONLY ONE FINAL EXAM WITH THAT WEIGHTS THE 100% OF THE FINAL GRADE.
