Unit aim
Introduces the concept of topology and its applications. The course includes topological spaces and related constructions and properties, connectedness and its applications, as well as compactness and related properties.
Unit content
Complex Analysis (Topics 1 to 5)
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
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.
