Syllabus: This is the first part of a 2-semester introduction to real analysis (Math 623-624). The prerequisites for this class is a working knowledge of the basics of analysis taught in a class like M523, see for example Chapter 3 and 4 of Analysis by its History. During the two semesters we will cover

• 1) Measure theory: Lebesgue measure and Integrable functions

• 2) Integration theory: Lebesgue integral, convergence theorems and Fubini theorem

• 3) Differentiation and Integration. Functions of bounded variation.

• 4) Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces . Examples and Applications. Inequalities.

• 5) Abstract measure theory.

Grade: There will be a midterm and a final. Homework will be assigned weekly. Each of the midterms and the homework will be worth 1/3 of your grade.

Exams:

• Midterm: Take-home exam, Due November 3, 1 pm         Room: TBA
