Syllabus

Topics. This will be the second semester of a two semester graduate-level introduction to the theory of measure and integration in abstract and Euclidean spaces. Math 5051 and 5052 form the basis for the Ph.D. qualifying exam in analysis.

Prerequisites. Math 5051, or permission of instructor.

Time. Classes meet Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 10:00 am to 11:00 am, in Cupples I Hall, room 218.

Text. The lectures will follow the book Real Analysis for Graduate Students, Version 2.1, by Richard F. Bass. ISBN-13: 978-1502514455
This textbook was also used in Math 5051.
Note that, although a PDF version is freely available, the printed version is cheap and handy to have at times when computers are not available.

Homework assignments: Solutions are due at the end of class on the due date. Late homework will not be accepted.
Collaboration on homework is permitted and encouraged, but each student must submit individually written solutions.
