Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Work with Text (with Book, Textbook)
Learning outcomes
Introduction to properties of topological spaces which are generalizations of metric spaces and play an important role in mathematical analysis.
1. Knowledge The student understands the basics of set topology and can illustrate the knowledge with simple examples. The student is capable to construct new topological spaces from known topological spaces.
Prerequisites
Preliminaries in the theory of sets and metric spaces.

Assessment methods and criteria
Mark, Oral exam

A student has to understand the basics of the subject and is capable to solve some practical tasks during the oral exam.
