Aims

The objective of the course is to introduce the notion of abstract measure space and the corresponding Lebesgue integral, then to rediscover, in this new language, the convergence theorems introduced in the first analysis courses : Fatou's lemma, Lebesgue dominated convergence, etc. After this course, students will be able to use those new tools in the context of the analysis and probability courses.

Main themes

Borel-Sieltjes measures.
Measurable functions
Integrability and integrals
Convergence theorems
Radon-Nikodym theorem
Fubini theorem
Lp spaces and their dual
Representation theorem of Riesz-Markov.
