Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 Contribution of the course to the learning outcomes of the Master's programme in mathematics.
At the end of this activity, the student will have progressed in :
- The ability to acquire independently and exploit new knowledge and skills throughout their professional life
- The capacity for abstraction, reasoning and critical thinking.
He/she will be able to :
  1. Identify the unifying aspects of different situations and experiences.
  2. Reason within the framework of the axiomatic method
  3. Construct and write a proof in an autonomous, clear and rigorous way.
- The ability to communicate scientifically.
He/she will be able to :
  1. Write a mathematical text according to the conventions of the discipline.
  2. Structure an oral presentation by adapting it to the level of expertise of the interlocutors.
- The ability to identify the unifying aspects of different situations and experiments in mathematics or related fields, using the abstract and experimental approach of the exact sciences.
- The capacity for abstraction and critical thinking, with the aim of becoming able to :
  1. reasoning within the framework of the axiomatic method
  2. Recognise the key arguments and structure of a demonstration.
  3. Construct and write a demonstration independently.
  4. Appreciate the rigour of a mathematical or logical argument and detect possible flaws.
  5. Distinguish between the intuition of the validity of a result and the different levels of rigorous understanding of the same result.
- Clarity, precision and rigour in communication activities with the aim of becoming able to
  Write a mathematical text according to the conventions of the discipline.
- The ability to learn independently. He/she will be able to :
  1. search for sources in the mathematical literature and judge their relevance.
  2. correctly situate an advanced mathematical text in relation to acquired knowledge.

 Course-specific learning outcomes.
At the end of this activity, the student will be able to :
- Present contexts, especially in functional analysis, partial differential equations and signal processing, involving harmonic analysis concepts, methods and results, and interpret them in their context.
- Present the various concepts, methods and results of harmonic analysis using definitions, examples and demonstrations.
- Apply and present techniques of real analysis, functional analysis and measurement theory to the study of harmonic analysis.
