MX4083: MEASURE THEORY (2023-2024)

Last modified: 23 Jul 2024 10:43


Course Overview

Measure theory provides a systematic framework to the intuitive concepts of the length of a curve, the area of a surface or the volume of a solid body. It is foundational to modern analysis and other branches of mathematics and physics.
