Syllabus/achievement requirements

In this course we will follow the book Spaces - An Introduction to Real Analysis by Tom L. Lindstr?m, ISBN 978-1-4704-4062-6. (There is only one edition of the book, so feel free to buy a used copy.) Chapter 10 is available online.

Here is an errata to the current printing. Please feel free to inform us if you find further errors.

Final syllabus

  • Chapters 1, 2
  • Chapter 3: Sections 1–5. We also sketched Section 7.
  • Chapter 4: Sections 1–10. You can find my lecture notes on Sections 8–10 here.
  • Chapter 5: Sections 1–5. We skipped the section Abstract Fourier analysis in Section 5.3; I would recommend reading it, but it's not required. For background material, see my notes on the \(\ell^p\) spaces.
  • Chapter 6: Sections 1–3, 6–8, and Section 1 in my note on multiindices. I taught Section 6.1 using little-o notation; see my note. I taught Section 6.6 less generally than the book does. 
  • Chapter 10: Sections 1–4. (I will not consider \(L^2\) convergence as part of the syllabus, only what I have taught in the videos.)
  • For Norwegian speaking students: This list of Norwegian translations of mathematical terms.

Additional material

Background material

Many of the concepts in this course draw from finite-dimensional linear algebra (i.e., MAT1120). David Lay's Linear Algebra and Its Applications can be consulted if you need to revise this material. A more rigorous alternative to Lay is Friedberg, Insel, Spence: Linear Algebra.
