MAT 550, Real Analysis II

Spring 2012

Professor, Mathematics

Time and place: TuTh 9:50-11:10, Math 4-130

We will use the text `Real Analysis: modern techniques and their applications' by Gerald Foland, second edition.

This course is a continuation of MAT 544 in Fall 2011. I expect to cover Chapter 3, selected sections of Chapters 4 and 5 and most of Chapters 6,7,8 and 9. In time permits, I will try to cover some sections from chapters 10 and 11 and perhaps add some supplementary material on PDEs.

My office hours will be Tu-Th 11:10-12:00 in my office, 4-112 in the Math Building.

Homework problems will be asssigned from the text each week and will be handed in at class each Thursday.

The first lecture is Tuesday, Jan 24. The last class meeting is Thursday May 3. There is no class during spring recess: April 2-8. There will be a midterm exam on Thursday March 29 (date tentative; location in Math 4-130) and a final at 11:15am-1:45pm on Thursday, May 10 (regular room, Math 4-130). Homework, midterm and final will each count for one third of your grade.

Lecture Schedule (this is tentative and only approximate; it will almost certainly change as we proceed).
