This is an old revision of the document!
Hello! My name is Muireann, pronounced like Marin County with a soft ending, I'm an exchange student from Ireland! I grew up and live in Cork and study in the University there (UCC). I'm a double major in Mathematical Sciences and Physics.
I began university thinking I'd only like Algebra and Applied Maths but have found interest in subjects like analysis. I took Complex Analysis M185 last semester. I'm really liking the approach to this class so far it is very different to anything I've taken before, so I am really looking forward to it.
My other interests are music and sport. I play piano and saxophone, I teach piano at home and currently trying to teach myself the trumpet. I also ran the half marathon across the golden gate last November!

Here I will post any useful links or resources I find myself using. As well as any interesting problems I have that a class mate could shed some light on.
HW4 Lebesgue Integral summary Up until now we had only been solving Reimann Integral. The Lebesgue integral is in some sense a generalization of the Riemann integral. This was only possible with 'Reimann Integrable' functions, i.e not all functions could be integrated. A classic example is f(x) = 1, x is a rational number and zero otherwise on the interval [0,1].
The steps for Lebesgue Integral 1. subdivide the range of function into infinitely many intervals 2. construct a simple function by taking a function whose values are those finitely many numbers 3. Take limit of these simple functions, when more points are added in the range of original functions.
HW6 Summary of results for Lebesgue Measure
Outer Measure
1. From Pugh's approach, he defines the outer measure of a set using Intervals, Rectangles, and boxes.
Lebesgue outer measure of a set $A \subset \R$ is
$m^{*}A$ = $inf${ $\Sigma_{k}$ $\vert$ $I_{k}$ | : {$I_{k}$ is a covering of A by open intervals}
The important theorem for outer measure is proving its properties:
a) The outer measure of the empty set is 0, $m^{*}\emptyset$ = 0
b) If A $\subset$ B then $m^{*}A$ $\leq$ $m^{*}B$
c) if A = $\Union$ $A_{n}$ then $m^{*}A$ $\leq$ $\Sigma$ $m^{*}A_{n}$
