Learning outcomes
In order to pass the course (grade 3) the student should be able to
- use the measurability concept for functions and sets;
- use the -almost everywhere- concept;
- give an account of the construction of the Lebesgue integral and be able to use it;
- use the theorems about monotone and dominated convergence, and Fatou's lemma;
- describe the construction of product measures;
- use Fubini's theorem;
Content
Sigma algebras. Measure and exterior measure. Lebesgue measure in one and several dimensions. Measurability of functions. The Lebesgue integral and its relation to the Riemann integral. Product measures and Fubini's theorem.
Instruction
Lectures and problem solving sessions.
Assessment
Written and, possibly, oral examination at the end of the course. Moreover, compulsory assignments may be given during the course.
