Course Description

This is the first half of a basic graduate-level course in real analysis. The central topic is the abstract theory measure and integration; the main examples are Borel measures on the real line, and in particular Lebesgue measure. This is fundamental material which has applications virtually everywhere in pure and applied mathematics.

We will cover chapters 1, 2, 3, and parts of chapters 5, 6, and 7, of Folland. There will be regular homework assignments but no exams.

Grading

Homework problems are graded out of 6 points, as described below. Notice that a perfect score doesn't imply a perfect solution, and fully half credit is awarded simply for an honest effort. Regardless of your score, it should be useful for you to compare your work with my solutions.

6	Correct or basically correct
5	Mostly good work, with some problems
4	Some good work, but some fundamental problems
3	Honest effort but little else
0	No effort, wrong problem, trivial solution, or no work shown

Web Resources

I will post homework solutions throughout the semester. Access is restricted to students currently enrolled in this course. To log in, use your last name (in capital letters, including hyphens if applicable) for User ID, and your student number (all 9 digits, no hyphens) for Password. To view the solutions, you may also need to install the free Adobe Reader.

Grades will be posted by Posting ID number. This number is comprised of the last four digits of your Affiliate ID number, followed by the last three digits of your ASU ID number. The Affiliate ID number is the ten-digit number on your Sun Card; the ASU ID number is the nine-digit one.
