MATHEMATICS 110.605

Theory of Functions of a Real Variable

Fall 2009 | Prof. C. Sogge

 

 

 


 

 

á       Textbook:  Richard L. Wheeden and Antoni  Zygmund, Measure and Integral: An Introduction to Real Analysis

 

á      Coverage:  This course will be a one-semester treatment of standard real-variable theory.  The goal will be to at least cover the first nine chapters of Wheeden and Zygmund fairly thoroughly.  We shall also cover the first chapter of my book, ÒFourier Integrals in Classical AnalysisÓ.

á      Prerequisites:  A good advanced calculus course, as well as equivalents of 110.405 and 110.413 is required.  The ability to write logically correct and linguistically coherent proofs in the language of mathematics is essential. 

á      Grading:  The final grade will be based on weekly homework assignments (20%), and two exams each worth 40%. You may work with other members of the class on the homework assignments, but you may not get help from the Help Room or other students on problems that are assigned.
