Time and place: TuTh 1:00-2:20, Physics P-129
We will use the text `Real Analysis' by
by Gerald Folland, secondedition, published by
Wiley.
I hope to cover Chapters 1-3, and parts of 4 and 5. Chapter 0
is prerequisite material but I may discuss it briefly if needed.
My office hours will be Tu-Th 11:10-12:00
in my office, 4-112 in the Math Building.
This is an introductory course on measure theory, with a
bit of point set topology and functional analysis thrown in.
Homework problems will be handed in at class each Tuesday.
The following is a tentative
lecture and homework schedule .
problem set for Chapter 0.
The first lecture is Tuesday, Feb 1. The last class meeting is
Thursday May 12.
There is no class during spring recess: April 18-24
There will be a midterm exam on Thursday March 31
and a final at
11:15am-1:45pm on Thursday, May 19 (in Physics P-124, the usual room).
Homework, midterm and final will count for 30%, 30% and 40% of your grade respectively.
The final will be in our usual room.
Here are the midgterms and finals for a 2-semester
course from Rudin's 'Principles of Mathematical Analysis'.
These should give you an idea of what would be good to
know entering this course:
midterm 1 ,
final 1 ,
midterm 2 ,
final 2 ,
