Textbook

A radical approach to Lebesgue's theory of integration by David Bressoud.

The textbook is mandatory.

Supplemental Textbook
An introduction to Measure Theory by Terence Tao. The book can be found free online here and a hardcover copy is available on reserve in the library. You can also purchase a cheap copy in several places. This book can help as an extra reference.


Topics we will cover

This course is a survey of important concepts in real analysis. The main purpose will be to learn Lebesgue integration.


Grading

The course grade will be based on:
Homework 20%,
Midterm 40%,
Final Exam 40%.


Homework

There will be written homework roughly every week. The most recent homework will be posted in the announcements and a copy of all homeworks can be accessed here. Each homework assignment will consist of roughly 10 problems. Each student will submit the solutions to the problems written in LaTeX. Collaboration on the homework is permitted (and encouraged), however the solutions turned in must be written individually.

You may not use the internet or any resource other than the textbook, course notes, and the supplementary textbook when working on the homework assignments.


Exams

There will be two midterms and one final exam. The three exams will be take home exams. You can use your notes and both textbooks. You are not allowed to use the internet or any other book. You can ask for two free hints in each exam. You can ask for more hints at the expense of points in the test. You must work on the problems on your own. No collaboration permitted in the exams.
