MATH 5111 (303) : Real Analysis Link: More Info
Description: Abstract integration: Lebesgue integration theory, outer measures and Caratheodory's theorem, Fatou's lemma, monotone and dominated convergence theorems. Measure theory: positive Borel measures, Riesz representation theorem for positive linear functionals on C(K), complex measures, Hahn-Jordan and Lebesgue decompositions, Radon-Nykodim theorem and differentiation of measures, Riemann-Stieltjes integral, the Lebesgue measure on Rd. Lp spaces: Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz, Hoelder, Minkowski and Jensen inequalities, L2 and Lp spaces as Hilbert and Banach spaces, Riesz representation theorem for bounded functionals on Lp. Integration on product spaces, Fubini's and Tonelli's theorems, Fourier transform and Plancherel theorem. For prelim preparation, see the prelim study guide.
Prerequisites: MATH 5110

MATH 5120 (340) : Complex Analysis Link: More Info
Description: Complex plane, Riemann sphere, Euler's formula, complex differentiable functions and Cauchy-Riemann equations, conformal maps, linear fractional transformations. Integration along simple rectifiable curves, Cauchy-Goursat and Morera's theorems, Cauchy integral formula, Cauchy estimates and Schwarz lemma. Power series and the disk of convergence, Taylor and Laurent series, classification of singularities. The argument principle, winding numbers and Rouche's theorem. Cauchy's residue theorem and its use in evaluating real-valued integrals. Maximum modulus, Liouville and Picard theorems, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Schwarz reflection principle. Harmonic functions and harmonic conjugates. Normal families and Montel's theorem. The Riemann mapping theorem. A practical purpose of the class is to prepare students to take the qualifying exams.
