2021 Winter: MATH 551, Introduction to Real Analysis

This is a new course that introduces the Lebesgue measure theory and a few other topics in real analysis for advanced math undergraduates, masters students, and AIM and non-math Ph.D. students.

Prerequisites: Students should have a solid background in advanced Calculus (MATH 295, 297, or 451) and linear algebra (MATH 217 or 296).

We plan to cover (1) Lebesgue measure on Rn, (2) Lebsegue integral, (3) differentiation, (4) Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure, (5) product measures, (6) abstract metric spaces, and (7) Lp spaces.

We will cover about 2/3 of the book by Terry Tao, Introduction to Measure Theory (which is also available as an online version on the author's website), and a few sections of Royden's book, Real Analysis.

There are some overlaps with MATH 597, alpha course for MATH Ph.D. students, but this course will proceed at a gentler pace and emphasize measures on Rn instead of general spaces.
