Course Learning Outcomes

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:

  • define and explain key concepts in measure theory, including σ-algebras, measurable functions, and different types of measures.
  • define general integral.
  • apply major convergence theorems (Monotone Convergence Theorem, Fatou’s Lemma, Dominated Convergence Theorem) to analyze the behavior of sequences of functions.
  • use product measures and apply Fubini’s and Tonelli’s Theorems in integration over product spaces.
  • apply the Radon-Nikodym Theorem to decompose measures.
  • apply the Lebesgue Differentiation Theorem in real analysis contexts.
  • work with Lp spaces, including their norms, completeness, duality, and important inequalities (e.g., Hölder’s, Minkowski’s).
