Summary:
This course continues Analysis II by introducing Lebesgue integration as well as elements of Functional Analysis and Fourier methods in the concrete setting of Lebesgue spaces. The topics include: measurable spaces, Lebesgue measure, Lebesgue integral and its comparison to the Riemann integral, Lp spaces and their properties, functions of bounded variation, absolute continuity, Hilbert spaces, orthonormal systems and Fourier coefficients, Fourier transform.
