Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

After completed course, the students are expected to be able to:

  • Describe basic properties of sigma-algebras and the Lebesgue integral
  • Explain the construction of the Lebesgue measure on Euclidean space
  • Describe the relationship between continuous functions and general integrable functions
  • Work with Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral on the real line.
  • Determine questions related to different kinds of convergence, like Lp-convergence, convergence in measure and convergence almost everywhere
