Last Call! Measure Theory Reading Group

I have already posted about this here. See this post in case you missed it. The reading group starts THIS WEEKEND. For all the info that you need, please read the post I linked and all the comments: they do contain most of the information. Please join our server discord.gg/maths where the reading group will be taking place. I will try to list (and answer) some of the most frequently asked questions. For anything else, just let me know in the comments. Some FAQs What do I need to know in order to meaningfully follow the reading group? Not much. If you're equipped with the knowledge of a first course in analysis that covers Riemann integration, and some very basics of point-set topology, you are more than enough prepared. In fact during the first couple of weeks, all the prerequisite knowledge will be covered (rather quickly as an overview), so even if you're rusty with these topics you can cover these up quickly. What texts will be followed and what will be covered during the reading group? The primary reference is Cohn's book . The following quote is directly from the person will be running the RG. In particular, there is very little rigidity about the syllabus, pacing, and the pedagogy of the reading group. For the syllabus I am just learning it myself from Cohn's book and so I will follow and present from it and a few online materials as and when I need them. This is a reading group, so everyone is almost reading at the same time as you. Moreover you are free to select books also, provided it covers the same contents when/if you decide to present something. This is my first formal introduction to measure theory also. What about the pacing? What would the proceedings look like? The lectures/presentations will be around 1-1.5 hr each day (on Saturdays and Sundays) from 10th October at 15:30UTC. We will try to cover 3-4 sections of the book per week. We will be doing almost all the problems of almost all the sections almost all the time of the first 5-6 chapters that we plan to cover, but we don't expect everyone to do the same. When lacking confidence with some concept, we will try external problems too, you can ask for these if you need to know these. And most importantly, please discuss anything and everything that you feel you need to discuss. We have designated channels for that in our server. We greatly look forward to this experience. Edit. Call for instructors and professors/people experienced with the material We are looking for people who might want to help out with the reading group as guides/instructors. The job is light – all you'll have to do is help out people who might be having doubts regarding any topic or problem, and occasionally planning some pedagogical manoeuvres when necessary. It would be highly appreciated if you're experienced with measure theory and would like to join as an instructor. Please let us know when you join.
