Course Handout - Part II
In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table), this portion gives further
specific details regarding the course.
Course No. : MATH F244
Course Title : Measure & Integration
Instructor-in-Charge : MANISH KUMAR
Instructors : MANISH KUMAR, Guru Charan A
1. Scope and Objective of the Course: The objective of this course is to give a comprehensive
and sound introduction to Lebesgue measure theory and integration. The concepts
of several notions of convergence and convergence theorems are also covered in this
course. The classical theory of Riemann integration has some obvious draw backs:
Firstly, the class of Riemann integrable functions is relatively small and secondly the
limiting operations often lead to insurmountable difficulties. In this course, the students
will be taught, how to resolve these problems in the case of Lebesgue measure theory.
