Description and Goals
This course treats the fundamentals of measure and integration theory, including Lp spaces and the Radon-Nikodym theorem; and an introduction to functional analysis, including Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces, and the theory of linear operators. Other topics that may be included (depending on time and interest) are harmoinc analysis and the Fourier transfom, the theory of distributions, the spectral theorem, and an introduction to probability.
Text: There is no required text for this course. A complete set of lecture notes will be posted on the Canvas webpage as the course progresses.
Some standard texts that treat the material covered in this course are:
Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications by Gerald B. Folland
Real and Complex Analysis by Walter Rudin
Real Analysis by H. L. Royden
Real Analysis: Measure Theory, Integration, and Hilbert Spaces by Eli Stein and Rami Sharkachi
Measure, Integration and Real Analysis by Sheldon Axler (Links to an external site.) (this is a new book, I have not read it closely but is probably the most similar in content to this course of any of the books above. The book is available for free download at the link provided.)
Some additional references for the second semester of the course (on functional analysis) are:
Functional Analysis by Peter D. Lax
A Course in Functional Analysis by John B. Conway
