Course Objective

1 .

To introduce the concept of Lebesgue integral via Lebesgue measure on real line, and extend this idea to abstract spaces and higher dimensional Euclidean spaces.

Course Outcome

1 .

1. Students will be able to understand the limitations of Riemann integration and the need of extension of the concept of length/volume to measure.
2. They will get acquainted with the Lebesgue integral and related results.
3. They will be able to do manipulations of sums and integral.
