Instructor: Demetrio Labate

When and Where

  • MEETING TIME:   MWF 11-12
  • MEETING PLACE:  C 102 
  • OFFICE HOURS:   MF 12-1; or by appointment 

Course Description:

This is the second semester of a two-semester sequence in graduate real analysis. After covering measure theory and Lebesgue integration during the first semester, this semester be devoted mostly to the following topics: Lp spacse and Hilbert spaces, convolutions, Fourier transform and Fourier series, differentiation. . 


Textbook:

Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean Space (Revised Ed.), by Frank Jones. Publisher: Jones and Bartlett Books in Mathematics, 2000. Additional reading material will be provided by the instructor.


Prerequisites:

MATH 6320 or an equivalent course in measure theory and Lebesgue integration.


Course outline:

  • Abstract measures
  • Lp spaces and Hilbert spaces
  • Convolution
  • Fourier transform and Fourier series
  • Differentiation

HOMEWORK:


Tests and Exam Dates:

The dates for the two midterm exams are Wed Feb 27 and Mon Apr 8. The final exam will be a take-home exam.


Grading:

Grades will be based on homework assignments counting 40% towards the final grade, on two midterm exams counting 30% towards the final grade and one final counting 30% towards the final grade. 

The grade will be determined according to a set point scale: 90%-100%: A, 80%-89%: B, 70%-79%: C, 60-69% D; F is less than 60% (+ and - will also be used).
