Math 172 (Introduction to Modern Analysis) / Lecture

Modern analysis provides a language and unifying framework for theories encountered throughout mathematics. In this course, students learn to understand, formulate, and prove mathematical statements. Ideas first encountered in calculus-- convergence, completeness, and integration--are studied in depth. Other topics include metric spaces, normed spaces, compactness, and measure theory (Lebesgue integration). Required for mathematics majors by the junior year, and earlier if possible. Prerequisite: Math 122 or Math 125.
