Course Information and Syllabus, Fall 2005
Text:Measure
Theory and Probability by M. Adams and V. Guillemin, Wadsworth &
Brooks, 1996 
Prerequisites: Graduate standing, exposure to advanced calculus and basic course in probability
Exams and Grading:
Course grade will be determined based on homework and mid-term and final exams:
Homework: 50 %
Exams: 50 %
The exams will be of the take home variety.
The topics that will be covered are:
Basic Construction of Lebesgue Measure. Lebesgue Integrals. Convergence in measure. Various Limiting Theorems.
Application of Measure and Integration Theory to Probability Theory: Random Variables and Expectations. Laws of Large Numbers.
Application of Measure and Integration Theory to Fourier Analysis
Application to Some Problems in Ordinary Differential
Equations: Existence Problems and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions
Computer Requirements
The use of computer algebra systems such as MATHEMATICA,
MAPLE,
and Scientific Notebook is encouraged. Some MATHEMATICA
and/or MAPLE notebooks will be provided and demonstrated in the
class. Some of the problems may need MAPLE or MATHEMATICA to be solved effectively.
