Learners enrolled: 410   |  Exam registration: 2
ABOUT THE COURSE:
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies vector spaces with a limit structure (such as a norm or inner product), and functions or operators defined on these spaces. The aim of this course is to discuss with some basic concepts and abstract results of functional analysis, which are basic in nature but paramount importance from the point of view of applications indicating the variety of applications.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Under graduate/Post graduate

PREREQUISITES: Knowledge of basic linear algebra and real analysis available on NPTEL portal is desirable.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Functional Analysis is a core course for any mathematics discipline and having applications in many area of Science and Engineering. Also, Functional Analysis is an abstract branch of mathematics that originated from classical analysis.The impetus came from applications: problems related to ordinary and partial differentialequations, numerical analysis, calculus of variations, approximation theory, integral equations,and so on.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

Please note that assignments encompass all types (including quizzes, programming tasks, and essay submissions) available in the specific week.

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
