MAT/05 - 6 CFU - 1° Semester

Teaching Staff

ALFONSO VILLANI


Learning Objectives

The aim of the course is to make the students familiar with basic concepts, main theorems and most used techniques in Measure and Integration Theory. This will give the students a more complete education in the field of Mathematical Analysis and will provide them with useful prerequisites in order to follow more advanced courses.


Course Structure

The course main topics will be explained by the teacher during formal lectures. These will be focusing on each topic's general principles and new concepts that have not been studied before. Each's topic's additional resources and subchapters will be presented by turning over groups of students. The goal is to have students develop study autonomy and teaching abilities, skills that are essential for students who want to pursue a career in research or teaching.
