Title REAL ANALYSIS Department MATH Course Number 2009 Fall 241 Section Number 01 Primary Instructor Reed,Michael C Prerequisites Prerequisite: Mathematics 204 or equivalent.
Synopsis of course content
This course develops measure theory and Lebesgue integration. This theory
is foundational for much of analysis and in particular for the mathematical
theory of probability. This course is a natural beginning part of a graduate
program in mathematics. Besides measure theory and integration (as in
Chapters 1--6, 11, and 12 in Royden's book, mentioned below), we include a
brief treatment of Fourier series and transforms, and the formulation of
probability theory in terms of measure theory. The main prerequisite is a
rigorous undergraduate course in real analysis. Students should have a
working knowledge of the concepts from undergraduate analysis and should
be used to writing proofs in analysis.
Textbooks

on probability.
