Before the lectures

I shall use this page to give you information about upcoming lectures, e.g. about which sections in the book they will cover, which videos you ought to watch before the lecture etc. I shall also put the zoom links for the lectures here. Reports from the lectures will be published on a separate page ("from the lectures"). Having prepared for the lectures is not a prerequisite, but it will make life much easier for you!

Wednesday, May 25th: This is the last lecture, and we shall use it to review chapters 10 and 6. As there is less theory that is suitable for exam problems in these two chapters, we shall probably have more time to do old exam problems.

Monday, May 23rd: We shall continue the review, this time with chapters 4 and 5. I shall skip sections 4.4, 4.7, and 4.9 as these are mainly intended to show applications of the theory and are not directly relevant for the exam (at least not this years!)

Wednesday, May 19th: We'll review Chapter 3 and parts of Chapter 4 (I don't know how far we will get). I'll try to pull things together and emphasize the central ideas rather than the details. I'll also try to find old exam problems that illustrate important techniques and ways to argue.

Monday, May 16th: This is the last lecture with new material. We have both section 6.7 and 6.8 on the syllabus, but we don't have time for a thorough treatment of both. I have decided to give a full proof of the Inverse Function Theorem in section 6.7, and then see how much time we have left for the Implicit Function Theorem (in the form of Corollary 6.8.3). Here are Ulrik's videos (his proof of the Inverse Function Theorem is organized a little differently from mine).

Section 6.7: The inverse function theorem: VideoNotes.

Section 6.8: The implicit function theorem I (motivation): VideoNotes.

Wednesday, May 11th: We are now a bit behind schedule, and as I want to keep my promise of using the three last lectures for review, we have to cut down on something. Here is the new plan: I complete section 6.5 on Taylor's formula, then skip 6.6 on partial derivatives and go straight to section 6.7 on the Inverse Function Theorem (we don't need partial derivatives for this). Then I'll round-off the course by talking about the Implicit Function Theorem in the final dimensional case (i.e. in the form of Corollary 6.8.3). Here are Ulrik's videos for Taylor's formula and the Inverse Function Theorem:

Section 6.5: Multiindices: Video. Notes.

Section 6.5: Taylor's formula (in Rn): Video. Notes.

Section 6.7: The inverse function theorem: Video. Notes.

Zoom link: https://uio.zoom.us/j/68107931483?pwd=cUZkZUd1U0hqK1NTVitUR3UzdWF1UT09

Monday, May 9th: The plan is to cover section 6.4 on Riemann integration of functions taking values in complete normed spaces, and hopefully get started on section 6.5 on Taylor series. Ulrik doesn't have any videos on this material.

Wednesday, May 4th: The plan is to cover as much as possible of 6.2 and 6.3. I shall first define directional derivatives (Definition 6.1.10) and then show how they can be used to find derivatives and prove that a function is differentiable (through examples like example 2 in section 6.2). Section 6.3 is more theoretical, but provides us with a tool that will be helpful i what follows. Ulrik has two videoes on this material:

Section 6.2: The Gateaux derivative: Video. Notes.

Section 6.3: The mean value theorem: Video. Notes.

Monday, May 2nd: We shall continue with Sections 6.1 and 6.2 on derivatives (6.2 is the practical version of 6.1). It's important stuff, partly because it's easy to make simple exam problems about this material! Ulrik has lots of videos:

Chapter 6 background video: What is a derivative: Video. Notes.

Section 6.1: The Frechet derivative I: Video. Notes.

Section 6.1: The Frechet derivative II: Video. Notes.

Section 6.2: The Gateaux derivative: Video. Notes.

Wednesday, April 27th: We first continue with section 5.4 which I shall cover more or less as in the book. In section 5.5, we have to make some shortcuts to save time. I shall follow the textbook up to to Proposition 5.5.5, and then drop the material on Neumann series and just postulate Banach's Lemma (Theorem 5.5.9). I shall also talk briefly about  the Bounded Inverse Theorem 5.7.5, which is definitely outside the syllabus, but helpful to know about in Chapter 6. Hopefully I shall also have some time left to start section 6.1 on derivatives. Ulrik has a number of videos on this material:

Section 5.4: Linear operators I. VideoNotes.

Section 5.4: Linear operators II (boundedness): VideoNotes.

Section 5.4: Linear operators III (spaces of linear operators): VideoNotes.

Section 5.5: Invertible linear operators I: VideoNotes.

Chapter 6 background video: What is a derivative: VideoNotes.

Monday, April 25th: The aim is to get through Section 10.5 (very short) and 10.6. In 10.6 we shall finally find conditions that guarantee that the Fourier approximations converge to the function. The arguments are more subtle variations of the arguments in 10.4, but now that we have seen one argument of this kind, it's should be possible to follow a more complicated one. If we have some extra time at the end, I'll go back to Section 5.4 and start talking about linear operators. Unfortunately, Ulrik doesn't have a video on 10.6.

Wednesday, April 20th: We shall work through section 10.4. I shall skip the proof of Lemma 10.4.2 (self-study), but cover the rest in more detail than Ulrik's introductory video:

Section 10.4: Cesaro convergence: VideoNotes.

Wednesday, April 6th: We shall finish section 10.2 and hopefully cover all of section 10.3. Perhaps we'll even get started on 10.4. As I forgot to put out videos last time, I link to Ulrik's videos for section 10.2 now instead:

Section 10.2: Convergence of Fourier series I: Video. Notes.

Section 10.2: Convergence of Fourier series II: Video. Notes.

Section 10.3: The Dirichlet kernel: Video. Notes.

Wednesday, March 30th: The plan is to finish section 5.3 (the part called "Abstract Fourier Analysis") and then continue with Section 10.1. Ulrik doesn't have a video specifically about the last part of 5.3, but the one about 10.1 may be worth watching already know:

Section 10.1: Fourier series (introduction and motivation): VideoNotes.

Monday, March 28th:  (NB: No classes on March 21st and 23rd due to midterm exams in other courses) The plan is to finish section 5.2 by proving Proposition 5.2.3 and then continue with section 5.3. This is a long section we won't be able to finish in one lecture, but it may still be good to know that after 5.3 we shall jump to chapter 10 (the alternative version of Fourier analysis). Here is Ulrik's introduction to section 5.3:

Section 5.3: Inner product spaces: Video. Notes.

Wednesday, March 16th: We continue with chapter 5, hoping to cover a much as possible of sections 5.1 and 5.2. Here are Ulrik's introductions:

Section 5.1: Normed vector spaces I (definitions): Video. Notes.

Section 5.1: Normed vector spaces II (equivalent norms): Video. Notes.

Section 5.2: Series and bases: Video. Notes.

Monday, March 14th: The main aim is to get through section 4.10 on Weierstrass' approximation theorem, but I also hope to get started on chapter 5 (section 4.11 is not on the syllabus). The book gives two proofs of Weierstrass' theorem, and I shall only cover the second one (the "analytic* one). As Ulrik gives the first proof in his introduction, I have not linked to his videos this time, but they are well worth watching.

The last weeks have been rather tough, but with chapter 5 we are now heading for calmer waters.

Wednesday, March 9th: We shall use the Arzela-Ascoli Theorem to prove existence of solutions to differential equations under weaker conditions than before. The proof is typical of a class of compactness arguments in differential equation theory. To simplify the geometrical picture, I shall carry out the proof in only one dimension.

Section 4.9: Convergence of Euler's method: Video. Notes.

Monday, March 7th: The goal is to finish section 4.8 on the Arzela-Ascoli theorem. This is one of the longest and toughest arguments in the book and it will be a great advantage to be well prepared. Take a look at Ulrik's notes and video:

Section 4.8: Arzela-Ascoli's Theorem: VideoNotes.

Wednesday, March 2nd: The main theme is differential equation as presented in section 4.7, but we may also have time to start section 4.8. Ulrik is quite taken with differential equations, and his introductions cover more than is in the book. Still it's a good idea to watch at least the first one.

Section 4.7: Ordinary differential equations I: Video. Notes.

Section 4.7: Ordinary differential equations II (uniqueness): Video. Notes.

Section 4.7: Ordinary differential equations III (existence): Video. Notes.

Monday, February 28th: The plan is to cover sections 4.5 and 4.6. So far what we have been doing in Chapter 4 has been quite separate from what we did in Chapter 3, but now we are going combine the two by studying metric spaces where the metric is defined in terms of uniform convergence. This will make it possible to apply the results from Chapter 3 to problems concerning functions, e.g. to differential equations. Take a look at Ulrik's introductory videos before the lecture:

Section 4.5: Spaces of bounded function: Videos. Notes.

Section 4.6: Spaces of continuous functions I: Videos. Notes.

Wednesday, February 23rd: As we didn't get started on Section 4.4 last time, we shall be covering all of it in this lecture. The section has two parts. The first is on convergence, integration, and differentiation of power series, and the second is on Abel's Theorem which tells us something about what happens at the endpoints of the interval of convergence. The proof of Abel's Theorem shows us an aspect of real analysis that hasn't been emphasized much in the course so far: the art of making estimates. We shall se more of this when we get to the chapter on Fourier analysis. NB: We shall be making important use of limsup in this lecture, and it may be a good idea to review this notion from Section 2.2.

Ulrik hasn't made a video on Abel's Theorem, so we have to stick to the one on power series:

Section 4.4: Power series: VideosNotes.

Monday, February 21st: The plan is to finish Section 4.3 and hopefully get started on 4.4. This is still rather concrete material compared to Chapter 3, and deals with convergences of sequences of functions and power series. You'll find Ulrik's introductory videos here:

Section 4.3: Integrating sequences of functions: VideosNotes.

Section 4.3: Differentiasting sequences of functions: VideosNotes.

Section 4.4: Power series: VideosNotes.

Wednesday, February 16th: As there have been a lot of questions about the mandatory assignment, I shall spend some time at the beginning of the lecture discussing (but not solving!) the problems. We then continue with Section 4.2 and will perhaps touch on Section 4.3. Didrik's videos on Section 4.2 and the beginning of Section 4.3 are here:

Section 4.2: Modes of convergence: VideoNotes.

Section 4.3: Integrating sequences of functions: VideosNotes.

Monday, February 14th: This is a prerecorded lecture as I have a hospital appointment that cannot be moved (the videos are now available on the "Reports from the lectures"-page). The main topics are the rather challenging section 3.6 and the much shorter and easier section 4.1. We shall also take a brief look at the main ideas of section 3.7, which may be worth knowing about although they are not part of the official syllabus. You will find Ulrik's videos on Section 3.6 and 4.1 here:

Section 3.6: Alternative description of compactness: VideoNotes.

Section 4.1: Modes of continuity: VideoNotes.

Wednesday, February 9th: We shall continue with section 3.5 on compactness. The stuff on totally bounded sets towards the end of section is quite challenging, and I think you will find it useful to have taken a good look at it beforehand. Here are Ulrik's videos:

Section 3.5: Compactness I: Video. Notes.

Section 3.5: Compactness II: Video. Notes.

Section 3.5: Compactness III: Video. Notes.

Monday, February 7th. As Auditorium 5 is still closed, the lecture will be in Room 108, NHA. We shall cover Section 3.4 on completeness and probably start 3.5 on compactness. These are extremely central topics for the rest of the course and take some time appreciate. Take a look at Ulrik's introductory lectures:

Section 3.4: Completeness: VideoNotes.

Section 3.4: Banach's fixed point theorem: VideoNotes.

Section 3.5: Compactness I: VideoNotes.

Wednesday, February 2nd. As the Vilhelm Bjerknes building is still closed, this lecture will be replaced by three prerecorded, digital lectures (see the links below). I'll be online at the zoom address at 12.15 for a chat and to answer questions (you may send me the questions in advance by email if you want to, and they may be about any part of the curriculum, not just section 3.3). The lectures will cover section 3.3 on open and closed sets. Before the lecture you are encouraged to take a look at two of Ulrik's introductory lectures:

Section 3.3: Open and closed sets: VideoNotes.

Section 3.3: Continuity in terms of open and closed sets: VideoNotes.

Prerecorded videos (replacing the ordinary lectures):

Video 1: Open and closed sets. Notes. Video

Video 2: Continuity in terms of open and closed set. Notes. Video.

Video 3: Boolean operations of open and closed sets. Notes. Video.

Monday, January 31st. IMPORTANT: As the Vilhelm Bjerknes building is closed on Monday and Tuesday, this lecture will consist of two prerecorded, digital lectures (see links below). I'll be online at the zoom address at 12.15 for a chat and to answer questions: We have now come to the heart of the matter: I'll start with Section 3.1 where metric spaces are introduced. This is the setting for the rest of the course, and it is important that you get a feeling for what a metric space is and how we work with them. In Section 3.2 we shall define convergence and continuity in metric spaces in ways that are very similar to what we saw in Chapter 2. As this is new and quite abstract material, you are strongly encouraged to take a look at the introductory videos before the lecture:

Section 3.1: Metric spaces. Video. Notes.

Section 3.2: Convergence. Video. Notes.

Section 3.2: Continuity. Video. Notes.

Prerecorded videos (replacing the ordinary lectures):

Wednesday, January 26th: The plan is to continue with the rest of chapter 2, starting with the notion of Cauchy sequences on page 34. I may not have time to do all the four theorems in Section 2.3, but I'll make to sure to cover the Bolxano-Weierstrass Theorem as this is the most important one for the first part of the course.

Section 2.2: Completeness. Video. Notes.

Section 2.4: Four important theorems. Video. Notes.

Monday, January 24th: The plan for the second week of the course is to cover Chapter 2 of the book. If you have taken MAT1100 and MAT1110 at UiO (and paid attention to the more theoretical parts!), there is little new here, but I'll still cover the parts of calculus that are most relevant for MAT2400. I haven't found any MAT2400 videos that deal with the material in Section 2.1, but there are some videos for MAT1100 that you may want to take a look at (unfortunately, they are in Norwegian):

Section 2.1: Convergence of sequences: Video (in Norwegian)

Section 2.1: Continuity: Video (in Norwegian)

Section 2.2: Inf and sup: Video. Notes.

Section 2.2: liminf and limsup: VideoNotes.

Wednesday, January 19th: The plan is to finish Section 1.3 and continue with sections 1.4 and 1.6 (we don't need 1.5 for the present course). This is still background information that we will need throughout the course. I recommend that you take a look at Ulrik's introductory videos before the lecture:

Section 1.4: Functions: Video. Notes.

Section 1.6: Countability: Video. Notes.

Monday, January 17th: The plan is to cover sections 1.1-1.3 in the book. This is background material on proofs, sets, and Boolean operations that you may be more or less familiar with according to your background. In addition to reading the book, you may prepare for the lecture by watching the following videos:

Logic and proofs: Video. Notes.
