Course Content

Real numbers, Countable and supercountable sets, Sequences and series of numbers, Representations of real numbers, Elements of set theory, the Cantor set and function, Topological spaces, Metric spaces, Spaces with norm, Open and closed sets, interiority and closure (closed case ) set, accumulation points, derivative set, Types of real functions (monotone, blocked wave, absolutely continuous, convex, etc.), Sequences in metric spaces. Sequences and series of functions, Uniform convergence and applications, Sequences and series of functions, uniform convergence, The fixed point theorem, Coherence, Compact metric spaces, Continuity, uniform continuity, Lipschitz functions, Derivation and integration of sequences and series of functions, Functional spaces, spaces of continuous functions, topology of uniform convergence, Applications in Economics and Regional Science

Learning results

After completing the course, it is expected that students will be able to:

To understand the basic concepts of real analysis, to be able to distinguish the concepts of metric and topological space, of multidimensional spaces, to know the basic mathematical methods and techniques used in the study of metric and topological spaces, to familiarize themselves with concepts of arrangement , countability, infinity, continuity, compactness, convergence, contraction, multivariate consideration, analytical properties of real functions and sequences and be able to recognize their basis and application to problems of economic sciences and of regional science. In general, the course aims for students to be able to exercise their inductive and associative thinking and perception in the study of economic phenomena and problems.
