Real Analysis
Boston College, Fall 2016
The aim of this course is to provide the basic methods and techniques of real analysis. We will start by going over the foundations of measure theory, which is necessary in order to properly study integration of real functions. We will then study elements of functional analysis such as L^p-spaces, Radon measures and their various applications.
Prerequisites
The course is intended for the first year graduate students; Interested undergraduate students are also welcome.
I will assume knowledge of a basic courses in analysis including the topology of metric spaces. Knowledge of linear algebra will also be assumed.
