Functional analysis seminar

Course
2024-2025

Admission requirements

National master course on Functional Analysis or comparable. A first introductory course, such as the Leiden Linear Analysis course, is usually not sufficient.

Description

The Functional Analysis Seminar is intended for advanced master students, PhD students, postdocs and staff. Its aim is to master a topic in Functional Analysis that is of interest to participants from these three groups. This topic will be determined during the fall semester.

Course Objectives

Not Applicable, as the info about the aim under "Description" cannot be specified further as long as the topic is not known.

Timetable

In MyTimetable, you can find all course and programme schedules, allowing you to create your personal timetable. Activities for which you have enrolled via MyStudyMap will automatically appear in your timetable.

Additionally, you can easily link MyTimetable to a calendar app on your phone, and schedule changes will be automatically updated in your calendar. You can also choose to receive email notifications about schedule changes. You can enable notifications in Settings after logging in.

Questions? Watch the video, read the instructions, or contact the ISSC helpdesk.

Note: Joint Degree students from Leiden/Delft need to combine information from both the Leiden and Delft MyTimetables to see a complete schedule. This video explains how to do it.

Mode of instruction

During a meeting, one of the participants gives a lecture of 90-135 minutes.

Assessment method

Active participation and at least one lecture are necessary. Grades are not given, only (when applicable) a "pass".

Reading list

The literature depends on the topic chosen and will be announced in due time.

Participants from other universities

People interested from other universities are most welcome to attend.
Please note: if you are not from Leiden, and if you want to obtain EC from this course, please do contact the relevant parties at your own university beforehand about the eligibility of this seminar for your own programme, in order to prevent unwanted surprises.

Contact

If you are interested, contact Marcel de Jeu, Bram Mesland, or Onno van Gaans before the start of the second semester.

Remarks

A publicly accessible website will be set up in due time. Since the seminar has non-Leiden participants, we cannot use Brightspace.
The dates in the official schedule are mostly indicative. The precise dates will be determined in accordance with the participants’ possibilities.

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
