Description

Measure theory and theory of the integral developed by Lebesgue at the beginning of this century found numerous applications in other branches of pure and applied mathematics, for example in the theory of (partial) differential equations, functional analysis and fractal geometry; it is used to give mathematical foundation to probability theory and statistics, and on the real line it gives a natural extension of the Riemann integral which allows for better understanding of the fundamental relations between differentiation and integration. This course provides the essential foundations of this important aspect of mathematical analysis.听
