This course provides an up-to-date introduction to the basic theory in Riemann and Lebesgue integration, measure theory and function spaces that are crucial in modern mathematical research. Special emphasis will be placed on various notions of convergence for a sequence of functions, swapping limits and derivatives/integrals, and Lp spaces. If time permits, application towards solving partial differentiation equations will be discussed.
2021-2022 Semester 1: MATH1025 Introduction to Mathematics and Statistics
This course introduces basic mathematics and statistics for university students. The mathematics part covers elementary calculus, optimization, numerical methods and applications in finance, while the statistics part explains basic statistical notions, including confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses and linear regression, and discusses misuse and abuse of statistics.
