And some Analysis courses:

- Differential Forms
- Differential Forms: Definition
- Hodge Star Operator
- Lemma of Poincare
- Stokes' Theorem
- Nonlinear Functional Analysis
- Analysis in Banach Spaces
- Brouwer Mapping Degree
- Leray-Schauder Mapping Degree
Graduate level course in Complex Analysis, Real Analysis and PDE's which usually cover the following textbooks:
- Complex Analysis by Lars Ahlfors
- Complex Analysis by Elias M. Stein & Rami Shakarchi
- Real Analysis: Measure Theory, Integration, and Hilbert Spaces by Elias M. Stein & Rami Shakarchi
- Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications by Gerald B. Folland
- Partial Differential Equations by Lawrence C. Evans
Then a graduate level course in Functional Analysis.
Fixed Point Theory is an important part of analysis to cover. And if you want to mix analysis with a little bit geometry, you MUST check the two brilliant books by I. Chavel: eigenvalues in riemannian geometry and isoperimetric inequalities. They do reveal beatiful applications of PDE's to geometric problems.
