Requisites: Before taking this module you must take MA10207 AND take MA10209 AND take MA10210
Learning Outcomes: After taking this unit students should be able to:
* state definitions and theorems in real analysis and present proofs of the main theorems

* present mathematical arguments in a precise, lucid and grammatical fashion
* apply definitions and theorems to simple examples
* carry out computations with integrals and power series
* manipulate sequences and limits in, normed spaces and metric spaces.


Aims: To extend the notions of continuity and limit from normed spaces and metric spaces, and develop some topology in these spaces. To study sequences of functions and their relation with integration and power series.
