  • Measure and Integration
    • Lebesgue outer measure
    • Measurable sets and integration
    • Lebesgue integral and basic properties
    • Convergence theorems
    • Connection with Riemann integration
    • Fubini's theorem
    • Approximation theorems for measurable sets
    • Lusin's theorem
    • Egorov's theorem
    • Lp spaces as Banach spaces
    • Maximal Functions
    • Vitali covers, Lebesgue differentiation, and density results
  • Hilbert Spaces
    • Elementary properties such as Cauchy Schwartz inequality and polarization
    • Orthogonal complements
    • Linear operators
    • Riesz duality
    • Applications to L2 spaces and integral operators
    • Projection operators
    • Orthonormal sets
    • Bessel's inequality
    • Fourier expansion
    • Parseval's equality

  • Learning Outcomes

    On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

    1. Explain the fundamental concepts of advanced analysis such as topology and Lebeque integration and their role in modern mathematics and applied contexts
    2. Demonstrate accurate and efficient use of advanced analysis techniques
    3. Demonstrate capacity for mathematical reasoning through analyzing, proving and explaining concepts from advanced analysis
    4. Apply problem-solving using advanced analysis techniques applied to diverse situations in physics, engineering and other mathematical contexts.
    Indicative Assessment

    Assessment will be based on Assignments and Final Exam after class discussion
