Math 535 (Real Analysis). Fall 2004
Instructor:
Steve Krone
Office Hours: MWF 1:30-2:20, and by appt.
Class Time: MWF 2:30 - 3:20
Place: 315 McClure
Prerequisite: Advanced Calculus
Text: R. Wheeden and A. Zygmund, Measure and Integral,
Dekker
This is the standard graduate course in measure theory and integration.
In addition to being important in it's own right and for a broader
study of analysis, this subject is essential
to any serious study of probability, differential equations,
functional analysis, ergodic theory, and fractals.
Grades will be based on homework (30%), a midterm exam (30%), and
a final exam (40%).
Final Exam : Fri, Dec 17, 3:30-5:30,
in our usual classroom.

integrals of highly discontinuous functions.
- Measurable sets, sigma-fields, measures and outer measures,
