Homework Assignments. Exercises given after the description of each lecture below are suggested exercises to do on your own. Of course I will give hints and will answer questions in class or out of class about any of them. A subset of each set of these exercises will be collected according to the schedule given below the lecture descriptions. I will ask that these exercise solutions be typed up using some kind of mathematical software, preferably TeX of some flavor. Any software capable of reproducing mathematical symbols is acceptable. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Class Notes and Exercises.
Lecture 1 This lecture covers certain basic facts from undergraduate Real Analysis, namely basic definitions, the Heine-Borel Theorem, the Nested Set Theorem and their equivalence to the Completeness Axiom for the real numbers. Exercises: Chapter 1, 3, 6, 12-14, 17, 23, 25.
Lecture 2 Sigma Algebras and Borel Sets. Sigma algebras and in particular the sigma algebra of the Borel sets are defined. Problem 44 of Section 1.5 is worked through in anticipation of the definition of the Cantor set later on. Exercises: Chpater 1, 30-32, 35-39, 43, 47, 48, 50, 51, 56, 57.
Lecture 3 Outer Measure and Measurability. We define the basic properties we require of a measure, then define outer measure and prove some of its basic properties. We then define measurability and show that the collection of measurable sets is a sigma algebra. Chapter 2, 6-10, 14, 15.
Lecture 4 Alternate Characterization of Measurability. We give an alternae characterization of measurability based on the approximability of sets by open sets from the outside and approximability by closed sets from the inside. We then define Lebesgue measure and show that it is countably additive and that it possesses a continuity property. Exercises: Chapter 2, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28.
Lecture 5 Nonmeasurable Sets, the Cantor set and the Cantor-Lebesgue function. These notes follow essentially Sections 2.5 and 2.6 in the book. Exercises: Chapter 2, 29, 30, 33, 37, 38, 40, 44, 46.
Lecture 6 Measurable Functions. Definition and basic properties of measurable functions. These notes follow essentially the content of Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Exercises: 1, 3-8, 10, 12, 14-16, 21.
Lecture 7 Littlewood's Three Principles. These notes follow Section 3.3 in the text. Exercises: 27-31.
