The Course
This year the Analysis I-II sequence is being
redesigned to cover Complex Analysis, Real Analysis (Measure Theory),
and Functional Analysis. The first semester
of analysis
provides an
introduction, at the graduate level, to functions of one complex
variable and the first half of real analysis.
For the first ten weeks, we cover the basic Cauchy
theory, we will focus on more analytic features of the subject,
highlighting its connection to PDE and Fourier analysis. As references
for complex analysis we use E. Stein and R.
Shakarchi, Complex
Analysis;
Lars Ahlfors, Complex
Analysis;
Zeev Nehari, Conformal
Mapping. More advanced material on the d-bar equation can
be found in T. Napier and M. Ramachandran, An Introduction to Riemann
Surfaces.
For
weeks 11-14 we begin our discussion of Real Analysis, which will be
followed by 4 more weeks in the second semester. In the first
semester we will cover Measure Theory and Lebesgue Integration in
Euclidean space. References for Real Analysis are Real Analysis by E.
Stein and R. Shakarchi, Real
Analysis by Gerald Folland, and Real Analysis by H.
Royden.
A problem set
will be
assigned every week on Tuesday, due the following week on Tuesday. I
very much prefer that students do the
problem sets
alone. We may
have midterm and final exams.
- The class meets on TuTh from 1:30 to 3:00 in room 4C8 of
the
David
Rittenhouse Labs.
- Tentatively my office hour will be Mondays 3:30-5:00PM.
Contact me by e-mail for an
appointment if you can not come during this time.

Send e-mail if you have a question or need to contact me.
- The
TA is Soum Nayak. His office is 3N2B in DRL, and e-mail is nsoum [@]
