Schedule

Course outline  This is an EMI course. This course I and course II during two semsters provide a rigorous treatment of fundamental topics in real analysis, including Measure Theory、Lebesgue Measurable Functions、Lebesgue Integation and Integral Theorems、Differentiation and Integration、L^P spaces and related Topics, Hilbert Space and Metric Spaces*, etc.

Details of the course In this course we will study the following topics:

  1. Preliminaries: The Real Numbers: Sets, Sequences, and Functions
  2. Measure Theory: Preliminaries, Outer-Measure, Lebesgue Measurable Sets, Properties of Measurable Sets, Countable Additivity and Continuity of Measure, and the Borel-Cantelli Lemma, Vitali's Example of a Non-measurable Set, The Cantor Set and the Cantor-Lebesgue Function . 
  3. Lebesgue Measurable Functions: Sums, Products, and Compositions of Measurable Functions; Pointwise Limits, Simple Approximation; Littlewood's Three Principles, Egoro 's Theorem, Lusin's Theorem.
  4. Lebesgue Integration and Integration Theory: Review of Riemann Integral; The Integral of a Bounded, Finitely Supported; The Integral of a Non-Negative Measurable Function and The General Lebesgue Integral; Countable Additivity and Continuity of Integration; Uniform Integrability and Tightness: The Vitali Convergence Theorems; Convergence in the Mean and in Measure (A Theorem of Riesz); Characterizations of Riemann and Lebesgue Integrability
  5. Differentiation and Integration: Continuity and Differentiability of Monotone Function; Lebesgue's Theorem; Functions of Bounded Variation: Jordan's Theorem; Absolutely Continuous Functions; Integrating Derivatives: Differentiating Indefinite Integrals; Measurability of Images of Sets, Compositions of Functions; Convex Functions.
  6. The L^p Spaces: Completeness and Approximation; Normed Linear Spaces; The Inequalities of Young, Holder, and Minkowski; 
    L^p Is Complete: Rapidly Cauchy Sequences and the Riesz-Fischer Theorem Approximation and Separability.
  7. Further Topics of The L^p Spaces: Duality, Weak Convergence, and Minimization; Bounded Linear Functionals on a Normed Linear Space; The Riesz Representation Theorem for the Dual of L^p; Weak Sequential Convergence in L^p; The Minimization of Convex Functionals.

Instructional Approach
Methods Notes
Formal lecture Each week, we will plan to follow the scheduled course content, try to use illustrative examples to deepen understanding, and provide corresponding assignments to support student practice.
Group discussion Every week, teaching assistants will engage with students to discuss the assigned exercises for each section or chapter, with tutorials running concurrently alongside the assignments.
Problem-based learning Weekly office hours will be available for students to discuss individual learning questions.
Grading assessment
Methods Percentage Notes
Assignments 20 % Each student is required to complete and submit the assigned exercises for each learning chapter within the specified deadline.
Midterm Exam 30 % The midterm examination will be administered during the scheduled study period.
Final exam 30 % The final examination will be held during the last week of the study period.
Presentation 20 % Each student is required to complete and report the assigned topics exercises for each learning chapter within the specified deadline.
