First, we list several elementary properties of general measures. A first course is in its style of exposition of the standard material in a studentfriendly manner. This book seeks to provide students with a deep understanding of the definitions, theorems, and proofs related to measure, integration, and real analysis. We now motivate the need for a sophisticated theory of measure and integration, called the lebesgue theory, which will form the rst topic in this course. Measuring things already the ancient greeks developed a theory of how to measure length, area, and volume and area of 1. It is devoted mainly to the measure theory and integration.

You can take a look at the table of contents in the link given above. For example the subject of probability theory is only touched upon brie y at the end of chapter 1 and the interested reader is referred to the book of malliavin which covers many additional topics including.
A measure theory tutorial measure theory for dummies. One of its strengths is that the theory is first developed without using topology and then applied to topological spaces. New concepts are introduced progressively from less abstract to more abstract so that the subject is felt on solid footing. An introduction to measure theory graduate studies in. They form the base for many areas of mathematics, for instance, the probability theory, and at least the large part of the base of the functional analysis, and operator theory. In particular, the rst half of the course is devoted almost exclusively to measure theory on euclidean spaces rd starting with the more elementary jordanriemanndarboux theory, and only then moving. The approach to measure theory here is inspired by the text stsk2005, which was used as a secondary text in my course.

A very good book is measure and integration theory from heinz bauer, especially if you are planning to study probability theory. The author takes an approach to integration based on the notion of distribution. Introduction in the following we survey the main results in the theory of measure and integration. This distribution does not have a pdf, and it is totally mysterious from the masters level theory point of view. A lebesgue measurable subset of r or of rd is of course one that is. In this sense, a measure is a generalization of the concepts of length, area, volume, etc. The content and level of this book fit well with the first year graduate course on these topics at most american universities. Serves as a solid modern classical text for a course in measure theory.
This is a graduate level textbook on measure theory and probability theory. Before we prove this theorem, consider a simpler property. In these notes, we develop the theory of measures first, and then define integrals. Proofs are usually only sketched, but i have attempted to provide a. Measure theory together with x from an additive system on which is additive but not completely additive if x 2. The text focuses first on the concrete setting of lebesgue measure and the lebesgue integral which in turn is motivated by the more classical concepts of jordan measure and the riemann integral, before moving on to abstract measure and integration theory, including the standard convergence theorems, fubinis theorem, and the caratheodory. Book suggestions for an introduction to measure theory. This contemporary first course focuses on concepts and ideas of measure theory, highlighting the theoretical side of the subject.

Moreover, as formalized by kolmogorov 1933, measure theory provides the foundation of probability. In addition to the classical topics discussed, it provides the first comprehensive treatment of the theory of i measure, network coding theory, shannon and nonshannon type information inequalities, and a relation between entropy and group theory.
