Course description
The study of fundamental concepts such as length, area and volume goes back at least as far as
ancient Greece.
Measures are deeply related to the theory of integration. The approach to integration presented in various calculus courses usually goes as far as the mid 19th century (Riemann integration).
This course is concerned with the modern theory, notably Lebesgue's thesis from the early 20th
century. Modern measure theory is
essential prerequisite for a wide range of subjects,
e.g. harmonic analysis, probability & ergodic theory.
