About this title

Synopsis

The book aims at developing the concepts and techniques of measure theory. Starting with a review of Riemann integral and its drawbacks, Lebesgue integral and integration over general measure spaces is developed in a systematic and logical manner. The book is written in a lecture style so as to make the subject matter easily accessible to students. Historical notes on the notion of integral are included to give the reader an insight into the development of the subject. Exercises are interwoven in the text following the concept/theorem needed to solve them. The book is self-contained and presumes only the knowledge of a standard first course in Mathematical Analysis. The topics covered in the book also prepare the reader for advanced studies in diverse branches of analysis like functional analysis and harmonic analysis.
