See https://www.anu.edu.au/covid-19-advice. In Sem 1 2022, this course is delivered on campus with adjustments for remote participants.
This course introduces the key concepts of modern real analysis. The philosophy of this course is that modern analysis plays a fundamental role in mathematics itself and in applications to areas such as physics, computer science, economics and engineering.
Topics to be covered include:
- Elementary set theory
- Metric spaces
- Uniform convergence
- Continuity
- The contraction mapping principle
- Integral equations
- Differential equations
- Topological spaces
Note: This course will have shared lectures with MATH2320 and MATH3116. Graduate students obtain a deeper understanding through an extension course which consists of 1 additional lecture each week.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Explain the fundamental concepts of real analysis and their role in modern mathematics and applied contexts.
- Demonstrate accurate and efficient use of real analysis techniques.
- Demonstrate capacity for mathematical reasoning through analyzing, proving and explaining concepts from real analysis.
- Apply problem-solving using real analysis techniques applied to diverse situations in physics, engineering and other mathematical contexts.
- Ability to use deep knowledge and understanding of advanced real analysis to formulate responses to complex concrete and abstract problems.
Indicative Assessment

- Assignments on special topic (25) [LO 1,2,3,4,5]
- Precise weights of % ranges to be determined in consultation with the class at first lecture. (null) [LO null]
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
Workload
The expected workload will consist of approximately 130 hours throughout the semester including:
- Face-to face component which will consist of 12 x 3 hours lectures per semester (36 hours) and 10 hours of workshops throughout the semester.
- 12 x 1 hour extension lectures per semester (12 hours).
- Approximately 72 hours of self-study which will include preparation for lectures, workshops, assignments and exams.
