Inspirational and Confusing unrelated material intended to push out-of-the-box thinking and free association of ideas.
The course dynamic includes two lectures a week, each of 2 hours. The course includes an additional 2 hour Debate-Session per week and it is not mandatory.
The Debate Session is meant for the participants and the lecturer to discuss the main concepts of the course from the student´s perspective as well as exchanging problem-solving and learning strategies. This is a link to Mathematics Stack Exchange, which is a question and answer site for people studying math. It is free and open for everybody. Notice that the platform is in English and its interface uses LaTeX for equations editing.
The course evaluation involves three tests and homework assignments.
Approximately 90% of the lectures will run in English, within these, students are expected to participate in at least 70% of the lectures. course documents, papers and slides.
The Debate-Sessions' language, together with the time scheduling will be chosen by the students.
The course documents: assignments, webpage, slides and such will be in English.
The homework is expected to be turned in, partially in English, partially in LaTeX, partially handwritten and partially in Spanish.
Mathematical Analysis is one of the most beautiful areas and hardest disciplines that mathematics can offer, you will experience a lot of frustration as one of the course objectives is to really test your limits and beyond.
