Learning Outcomes
After the completion of the course the student knows the main concepts and results of the measure and integration theory. The student is capable of defining the main concepts precisely. The student is capable of writing justifications and applying results in simple proofs and calculations. The student is able to verify the most important results. The student can apply the concepts and results in advanced studies and applications in the area of analysis. The exact mathematical reasoning is emphasized during the course.
