1. Theory of sets – sets and operations
2. Theory of sets – functions and relations
3. Metric spaces – metric spaces and continuity
4. Metric spaces – limits, open and closed sets, subspaces and equivalence
5. Topological spaces – spaces and functions
6. Topological spaces – subspaces, products, identification topologies
7. Connectedness – introduction and applications
8. Connectedness – components and local connectedness, path-connected spaces
9. Compactness – compact topological spaces, subsets and products
10. Compactness – compact metric spaces, Bolzano-Weierstrass property, surfaces by identification

Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
