Course description
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
The course gives a thorough introduction to measure and integration theory together with a basic introduction to functional analysis. Covered topics include Banach and Hilbert spaces, Hahn-Banach theorem, dual spaces, orthonormal bases, measure spaces, Lebesgue integration, convergence theorems, Lp-spaces and their duals, construction and decomposition of measures, Lebesgue and Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures, Littlewood’s principles, Riesz-Markov theorem, product measures and Fubini-Tonelli theorems, fundamental theorem of calculus, Fourier transform and Plancherel theorem, conditional expectations and martingales.
