• Final Exam: Monday, May 10, 4:00-7:00 (Hill 425)

Lecturer: Prof. Roe Goodman

Text: (required) Gerald B. Foland, Real Analysis: Modern Techniques and Their Applications (2nd ed.),
    ISBN #0-471-31716-0, Wiley-Interscience/John Wiley Sons, Inc., 1999.

This course is a continuation of 640:501 from Fall 2003. The goal is to give an introduction to core topics in real and functional analysis that every professional mathematician should know, and to cover some of the written qualifying exam topics that were not in 640:501 last semester.

Homework Assignments: The list of   homework problems   is updated frequently (be sure to clear any old cached copies from your browser before loading).

Topics: The course will cover material from Chapters 4-8 of Folland's book:

• Topological Spaces
  Basic properties, compact spaces, Stone-Weierstrass theorem
• Introduction to Functional Analysis
  Normed vector spaces, Hahn-Banach theorem, bounded linear transformations, Closed graph and Open mapping theorem, applications of Baire category theorem, Hilbert spaces, topological vector spaces, weak and weak* convergence
• Lp Spaces
  Integral inequalities, duality, bounded integral operators
• Introduction to Fourier analysis
  Schwartz space, convolutions, Fourier transform and Fourier series, Plancherel theorem, Poisson summation formula, Lp and pointwise convergence of Fourier series
• Integration on Locally Compact Spaces
  Continuous functions and Radon measures on locally compact spaces, dual of C(X), vague convergence of measures

Grading: There are weekly graded homework assignments, an in-class midterm exam (closed book) on March 10, and a final exam (closed book) on May 10.
