MAT3105: Real Analysis II
Course Unit Title
MAT3105: Real Analysis II
Course Unit Description
This is a pure mathematics course covering topics needed for physical, life and social science disciplines. Topics covered include: Lebesgue Measure; Lebesgue Integration; and Convergence and the Lebesgue Integral.
Course Objectives
On successful completion of this course unit, the learners should be able to:
- Describe the concept of measure theory in terms of measurable sets and their various types and properties.
- Describe various types of measurable sets including -sigma algebras, Borel -sigma algebras, and cantor sets.
- Describe the concept of Lebesgue measure for bounded and unbounded sets.
- Define and state properties of measurable functions, as well as the concept of preservation of measurability of functions and simple functions.
- Describe and work with the concept of Lebesgue integral as applies to bounded measurable functions, the elementary properties of the integral, and integral for unbounded functions.
- Describe the concept of convergence and the Lebesgue integral and the convergence theorem.
- State and apply the necessary and sufficient condition for Riemann integrability as well as the Ergoff’s and Lusin’s theorem.
Expected Learning Outcome
This course unit is meant:
- To discuss the basic competence in the concepts, principles, analysis and procedures necessary to develop the learners’ habit of critical thinking in pure Mathematics.
- To encourage orderliness, speed and accuracy in the presentation of mathematics.
- To help learners acquire the analytic skills of expression in proper mathematical language and using mathematical symbols correctly.
- To provide instructions that contributes to the learners’ abilities to think critically and solve real life problems, to reason mathematically and apply computational skills.
- To build a strong foundation in measure theory as preparation for subsequent courses in mathematics and other sciences.
- To Lay a foundation for postgraduate study in pure Mathematics
