MX5004: MEASURE THEORY (2014-2015)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

Measure theory provides a systematic framework to the intuitive concepts of the length of a curve, the area of a surface or the volume of a solid body. It is foundational to modern analysis and other branches of mathematics and physics.

Course Description

Measure Theory abstracts and makes precise the notions of 'length' and 'volume'. In this course the basic concept of measure theory will be covered. The theory of Lebesgue integration will be introduced and various convergence results will be presented. The relevance to other branches of mathematics (for instance Probability theory and Analysis) will be discussed.
