We will follow the text `Measure, Integral and Probability' by Marek Capinski and Ekkehard Kopp (Springer-Verlag, Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series, ISBN 1-85233-781-8). We should cover all of Chapters 1-5, and perhaps parts of Chapters 6,7,8 as time permits.

This is definitely a course with proofs. Homework problems will be asssigned for each section and there will be an inclass midterm on Friday, Oct 27 and a final at a time to be set (Scheduled time is Monday Dec 18 at 2-4:30).

Please hand homework in on or before due date. I will try to discuss the problems on the following meeting. Incorrect problems may be rewritten and handed back in for partial credit.
