    Text
  • Required: G. Folland. Real analysis. Modern techniques and their applications. Second edition. Pure and Applied Mathematics, Wiley-Interscience Publication, New York, 1999.
  • Recommended: W. Rudin, Real and Complex Analysis, McGraw-Hill (on 3-hour reserve at Schulich library); G. Folland, Real Analysis, Modern techniques and Their Applications (on 3-hour reserve at Schulich library).
    • Syllabus:
  • Continuation of Math 564. Review of theory of measure and integration; product measures, Fubini's theorem; Lp spaces, basic principles of Banach spaces; Riesz representation theorem for C(X); Hilbert spaces; Fourier analysis; further material as time permits.
  • Course summary
    • Tests
  • There will be a midterm that will count 30% of the grade. You can write a take-home midterm, in-class midterm or both. Your grade will be the maximum of the 2 scores.
  • Take-home midterm will be distributed on Friday, February 17; it will be due back on Monday, February 27.
    Midterm (pdf). Solutions: solution 1, solution 2
  • In-class midterm will be held on Friday, March 2, 11:00 - 12:30, Burnside 1B24. Solutions (pdf).
  • There will be an in-class final; its weight under various marking options is deccribed in the Grading section below.
  • Date: Friday, April 20, 14:00-17:00, Room TBA
    • Oral Presentation
    Students will have an option of giving a 30-minute oral presentation in class on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with the instructor. If a student chooses that option, the presentation will be evaluated, and will count for 10% of the grade.
    List of possible topics:
  • Rearrangement ineqaultities
  • Steiner symmetrization
  • Sobolev inequalities
  • Poincare's inequalities
  • Banach-Tarski paradox
  • Ruziewicz problem
  • Lie groups, Haar measure
  • Ergodic theorem
  • Isoperimetric inequalities
  • Rayleigh quotient, eigenvalues
  • Co-area formula
  • Cheeger constant
  • Infinite-dimensional spaces
  • Other topics to be announced
    • Grading:
  • Your final mark will be the largest of the following: [20% Assignments + 30% Midterm + 50% Final]; OR [20% Assignments + 80% Final]; OR [20% Assignments + 30% Midterm + 10% Presentation + 40% Final]; OR [20% Assignments + 10% Presentation + 70% Final].
  • In the event of extraordinary circumstances beyond the University's control, the content and/or evaluation scheme in this course is subject to change.
    • WebCT: Your scores on assignments, presentation, midterm, final, and your final mark will be posted on WebCT
    Supplemental: There will be a supplemental exam, counting for 100% of the supplemental grade. No additional work will be accepted for D, F or J.
    Homework will be assigned in class and will be due by 5pm by the specified deadline.
