Students acquire basic knowledge of measure theory needed to understand probability theory, statistics and functional analysis.
Knowledge and understanding: understanding basic concepts of measure and integration theory.
Application: measure theory is a part of the basic curriculum of the graduate study of mathematics since it is needed in other areas, for example, in probablity calculus, statistics and functional analysis. It is useful also in other sciences, for example in economy.
Reflection: understanding of the theory on the basis of examples of application.
Transferable skills: Ability to use abstract methods to solve problems. Ability to use a wide range of references and critical thinking.
