Syllabus

Literature

  • Tom L. Lindstr?m, Spaces — An Introduction to Real Analysis, Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, vol. 29, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2017. Errata can be found here.
  • Ole Fredrik Brevig, A Measure of Lebesgue Measure. The notes can be downloaded here. (The source files are also available.)
  • Erik Bédos, Notes on Elementary Linear Analysis. The notes can be downloaded here

The curriculum will consist of Chapter 7.1–7.6+7.9 and Chapter 8.1–8.4 in Spaces plus the two notes.

Alternative literature

It can often be helpful to look at other presentations of the curriculum. For the first part of the course, I recommend the following texts.

  • Terence Tao, An introduction to measure theory, Graduate Studies in Mathematics, vol. 126, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2011.

  • John N. McDonald and Neil A. Weiss, A course in real analysis, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, CA, 1999.

Note that the material is organized differently than in Spaces, so a side-by-side comparison might prove difficult. My advice is to at least take a look at Section 2.1 on Problem solving techniques in Tao.

For the second part of the course, the following texts may be helpful and/or interesting.

  • Barbara D. MacCluer, Elementary functional analysis, Graduate Texts in Mathematics, vol. 253, Springer, New York, 2009.
  • Nicholas Young, An introduction to Hilbert space, Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988.
