Learning objectives
This course explores some of the main ideas and basic working tools of modern analysis, beginning with Lebesgue's theory of measure and integration and moving on towards topics of linear functional analysis in Banach spaces. Application of these ideas and tools to the study of classical problems in real analysis is emphasized.
Prerequisites
Solid knowledge of single and multivariable differential and integral calculus, linear algebra and topology.
Course unit content
Basic elements of Lebesgue's theory of measure and integration and linear functional analysis in Banach spaces.
