This module continues the development of real analysis that was begun in MT2502 and continued through MT3502. Topics covered will include limits and continuity in metric spaces, differentiation in higher dimensions and the theoretical underpinning of Fourier series. This module will present some of the highlights of the study of analysis, such as Baire's Category Theorem, the Contraction Mapping Theorem, the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem, and the Inverse Function Theorem.
