To make the participants acquainted with the theory of Riesz products which constitute a usefool tool for research in mathematical analysis. Among other things they have been used to give examples of continuous, nowhere differentiable functions and of periodic functions, the Fourier coefficients of which decay as slowly as for typical piecewise continuous functions with discontinuities.
