Second exercises are online (since Monday evening, but the last exercise was still swapped on Tuesday morning). Due on Sept 28.
First exercises are now online, see below. First exercise session: Sept 21. On Thursday Sept 16 there is no lecture. Instead, watch the 3 first videos (but 3rd video will also be covered in class, so focus on parts 1-2).
The course is lectured jointly with Katrin Fässler. The teaching assistants will be Damian Dabrowski and Carlos Mudarra. The course is lectured in English (but Tuomas will be happy to answer your questions in Finnish, too).
So far we're still planning to have lectures in class (Tuesdays 12-14 and Thursdays 14-16 in MaD380). The same goes for exercises (Tuesdays 14-16, MaD380). The COVID situation may still affect this, so please follow the latest information on this page.
The first lecture is on Tuesday, Sept 14, at 12.15.
Course description:
The course Real Analysis will pick up where Measure and Integration left off. We will focus less on Lebesgue measure, and more on abstract measures. We will start by proving three key theorems in abstract measure theory, namely
The Riesz representation theorem (both positive and complex versions)
Fubini's theorem in sigma-finite measure spaces
The Radon-Nikodym theorem
After these fundamental results, the following topics are covered:
Inner and outer regularity properties of Borel measures
Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and the Lebesgue differentiation theorem
Smooth approximation of Lp functions (convolutions)
Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem
Differentiability of Lipschitz functions (Rademacher's theorem, Stepanov's theorem)
Basics of Hausdorff measures and densities
Co-area inequality
Absolutely continuous functions and functions of bounded variation on the real line
Whitney's extension and Lusin's approximation theorems
