Course description and aims

In this course, we deal with basic concepts and properties of measures and integration by means of measures (Lebesgue integral). We first explain basics of sigma-algebra and (countably additive) measure. It includes the study of Lebesgue measures which are one of the most fundamental measures. We next introduce measurable functions, which are candidates of integrand, and Lebesgue integration, and study their elementary properties. Finally, we study convergence theorems.
They would be a basis of integration theory as well as application of Lebesgue integration. This course will be succeeded by "Real Analysis II" in the second quarter.
The theory of measures and integrations was constructed by Lebesgue on the basis of set theory. These concepts are a natural extension of length, area, volume and probability etc. We can naturally handle operations involving infinity (e.g. limit for figures and functions) within the framework of this theory. In this course, we would like to address how the notion of integration is extended by Lebesgue integration and how effective it is in analysis.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to:
Be familiar with the notion of sigma-algebra and measure.
Be able to explain the reason why given measurable functions are measurable.
Know the reason why elementary property of integration holds and be able to use them freely.
Be able to apply convergence theorems by checking their assumptions correctly.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
