Course Description
e-mail:
tiberiu@utdallas.edu The main goal of the course is the presentation of some
fundamental mathematical techniques that ``every
home page: graduate student in mathematics (and not only) must
http://www.utdallas.edu/ know''. It's about measure theory, normed spaces
~tiberiu/ (Banach, Hilbert spaces), and some of their applications
(like Fourier analysis, fractal geometry, probability
theory and group representations). The course is
Office hours: divided in two parts. The first part covered the following
material:
10:00am-12:00, M
1. Lebesgue measure and Lebesgue integral.

2. Abstract measure theory.

3. Introduction to metric spaces.

The second part of the course will focus on the following

topics:

4. Functional analytic techniques in Probability:

Brownian motion and stochastic integration.

5. Fractal geometry and symbolic dynamics.

Problem assignments

Problems will be assigned on a regular basis. It is not

enough time to discuss the problems during the class.
Solutions to the mandatory problems are due in one
week. Additional (non-mandatory) homework could be
also assigned. You are strongly encouraged to work on
these problems too. Also some bonus problems might
be given from time to time.

Examinations

All students are expected to take the examinations at

the announced time. Students are required to inform the
lecturer of suspected honor code violations. Of all
problems, you must show your work. If you miss an
exam, the grade will be recorded as zero unless you
contacted your instructor IN ADVANCE and agreed
upon a procedure to make it up. You are responsible
for all announcements made in class, including
homework assignments and changes in the
schedule. Unsatisfactory attendance can affect your
final grade.

The grade is based on two exams and the final exam.
