Unit description
This unit provides an advanced introduction to the key areas of research interest in modern analysis. We will study Lebesgue integration, positive Borel measures, and the all important function spaces Lp. Then we will study the elementary Hilbert space theory and Banach space techniques. This will provide familiarity with some of the major theorems which make up the analysis toolbox: Monotone and Dominated Convergence theorems; Fatou's lemma; Egorov's theorem; Lusin's theorem; Radon-Nikodym theorem; Fubini-Tonelli theorems about product measures and integration on product spaces; Uniform Boundedness; Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for Lebesgue Integrals; Minkowski's Inequality; Holder's Inequality; Jensen's Inequality; and Bessel's Inequality.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- ULO1: Demonstrate the abstract setting and the logical arguments in metric spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, and formulate the structure on positive Borel measure, and the Lebesgue spaces, including the Riesz representation theorem and the approximation by continuous functions
- ULO2: Analyse the abstract setting of metric space, Banach space and Hilbert space, and evaluate their utility to study particular areas of differential equations and calculus in higher dimension setting.
- ULO3: Analyse the structure of Lebesgue spaces, and evaluate the utility of this setting to study particular areas of Fourier series and Fourier transforms, harmonic functions and Poisson integral
- ULO4: Create a precise mathematical problem from the specific modelling by applying these abstract settings, and discuss the solution by synthesising the methods in the theory of Banach space and Hilbert space
