Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

After completing this course the students will Have knowledge of the basic properties of σ-algebras, of measures and especially of Lebesgue measure on the set R of real number and on the Euclidean space R^k. Know the basic properties of measurable functions, the definition of Lebesgue integral in a random measure space. Be able to apply the basic theorems concerning Lebesgue intergral (Monotone Convergernce Theorem, Dominated Convergence Theorem). Understand the difference between Riemann integral and Lebesgue integral on R.

General Competences

The course promotes inductive and creative thinking and aims to provide the student with the theoretical background and skills to use measure theory and integration.

Syllabus

Algebras, σ-algebras, measures, outer measures, Caratheodory's Theorem (concerning the construction of a measure from an outer measure). Lebesgue measure, definition and properties. Measurable functions. Lebesgue integral, Lebesgue's Monotone Convergernce Theorem, Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem. Comparison between Riemann integral and Lebesgue integral for functions defined on closed bounded integrals of the set of reals.
