Course overview and goals

In this course, I will explain fundamental concepts and techniques from real analysis and probability theory that are used in the analysis of stochastic partial differential equations. In the first half, I will introduce real analytic notions such as Besov spaces and paraproducts. In the second half, I will discuss applications to stochastic partial differential equations. This course will be completed with "Advanced topics in Analysis F" in the next quarter.
