Course Overview
Capabilities Developed in this Course
| Capability 1: | Disciplinary Knowledge and Practice |
| Capability 2: | Critical Thinking |
| Capability 3: | Solution Seeking |
| Capability 4: | Communication and Engagement |
| Capability 5: | Independence and Integrity |
Learning Outcomes
- To know the basic definitions of measure and integral. This includes an intuitive understanding, from which the definitions could essentially be recalled many years after the course. (Capability 1 and 2)
- To know the basic theory of measure and integral. This is to be learned to high level during the course, and after the basic gist of application and arguments should be maintained. (Capability 1, 2 and 3)
- To be able to solve problems involving in measure theory. As this a completely rigorous course, it allows for the presentation of mathematical arguments in the assignments. It is generally expected that students will make substantive progress in proof presentation in the course. Usually this involves going from overly long "proofs", often with incorrect arguments, to simple arguments with just the right amount detail to give a convincing proof. (Capability 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)
- A high level of in class participation. It is expected that students, will ask questions and take an active part in lectures. Sometimes this involves students (either individually or as a pair) giving short presentations of some applications that cannot be covered in the theorem/proof detail of the rest of the course. (Capability 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)

For this course, you can expect 3 hours of lectures, 2 hours of reading and thinking about the content and 5 hours of work on assignments and/or test preparation.
Digital Resources
Course materials are made available in a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas which also includes reading lists and lecture recordings (where available).
Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.
Copyright

The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against online source material using computerised detection mechanisms.
Inclusive Learning
All students are asked to discuss any impairment related requirements privately, face to face and/or in written form with the course coordinator, lecturer or tutor.
Student Disability Services also provides support for students with a wide range of impairments, both visible and invisible, to succeed and excel at the University. For more information and contact details, please visit the Student Disability Services’ website at http://disability.auckland.ac.nz
Special Circumstances
If your ability to complete assessed coursework is affected by illness or other personal circumstances outside of your control, contact a member of teaching staff as soon as possible before the assessment is due.
If your personal circumstances significantly affect your performance, or preparation, for an exam or eligible written test, refer to the University’s aegrotat or compassionate consideration page: https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/academic-information/exams-and-final-results/during-exams/aegrotat-and-compassionate-consideration.html.
This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.
Student Feedback
During the course Class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the staff responsible for the course and staff-student consultative committees.
At the end of the course students will be invited to give feedback on the course and teaching through a tool called SET or Qualtrics. The lecturers and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback.
Your feedback helps to improve the course and its delivery for all students.
