	Henri Lebesgue
		Henri Léon Lebesgue (1875 - 1941) was a mathematician most famous for his theory of integration, which he developed in 1902.
		Lebesgue's technique for turning a measure into an integral generalises easily to many other situations, leading to the modern field of measure theory.
		Although Lebesgue's integral was an example of the power of generalisation, Lebesgue himself did not approve of generalisation in general and spent the rest of his life working on very specific problems, generally in mathematical analysis.

	Henri Lebesgue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lebesgue's integration theory was originally published in his dissertation, Intégrale, longueur, aire ("Integral, length, area"), at the University of Nancy in 1902.
		Lebesgue's father was a typesetter, who died of tuberculosis when his son was still very young, and Lebesgue himself suffered from poor health throughout his life.
		Lebesgue's idea was to first build the integral for what he called simple functions, measurable functions that take only finitely many values.

	Henri Lebesgue Summary
		Lebesgue's theory, which was fundamentally a generalization of Riemann's integral theory, included a measure-theoretic viewpoint that made the Lebesgue integral, as it became known, useful in several branches of mathematics, such as curve rectification and the theory of trigonometric series.
		Lebesgue inherited the solid foundation for the theory of calculus that was laid by the mathematical giants of the 19th century.
		Lebesgue taught at the Lycée Central in Nancy from 1899 to 1902.

	Lebesgue biography
		Lebesgue entered the École Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1894 and was awarded his teaching diploma in mathematics in 1897.
		In 1905 Lebesgue gave a deep discussion of the various conditions Lipschitz and Jordan had used in order to ensure that a function f(x) is the sum of its Fourier series.
		Lebesgue held his post at the Sorbonne until 1918 when he was promoted to Professor of the Application of Geometry to Analysis.

		Henri Léon Lebesgue was born on June 28, 1875 in Beauvais, Oise, Picardie, France.
		Lebesgue was appointed as a professor at the Sorbonne in 1910.
		Lebesgue's great contribution was the development of measure theory and the extension of the Reimann integral (named for Georg Riemann) to the notion of the integral of a function with respect to a measure.

	Lebesgue, Henri-Léon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the greatest mathematicians of his day, Lebesgue's pavement theorem is an important contribution to topology, and he did some work on Fourier series and potential theory (the theory of functions describing a conservative energy field).
		With Lebesgue integration, any bounded, summable function is the derivative of its indefinite integral, except perhaps for an ensemble of points with zero measure.
		Lebesgue integration was also instrumental in greatly expanding the scope of Fourier analysis.

		Lebesgue's idea, in a nutshell, was: Don't partition the domain of the function; partition the range.
		Finally, to get the Lebesgue integral, we can take partitions into equal sized intervals with more and more points; the Lebesgue integral is the limit as the number of points goes to infinity of the Lebesgue sums.
		So the first step in carrying through Lebesgue's program is to come up with a useful, consistent, notion of measure for subsets of the real line which, for intervals, coincides with the length of the interval.

	integration
		Instead of using the areas of rectangles, a method that puts the focus on the domain of the function, Lebesgue turned to the codomain of the function for his fundamental unit of area.
		Lebesgue's technique for turning a measure into an integral generalizes easily to many other situations, leading to the modern field of measure theory.
		The Riemann integral had been generalized to the improper Riemann integral to measure functions whose domain of definition was not a closed interval.

	Resumo Luzia Aparecida Palaro
		The main aim of this study was to consider the aspects which characterises Henri Lebesgue’s conception of Mathematics Education.
		Lebesgue (1875-1941), as well as being one of the most eminent mathematicians of the twentieth century and revolutionising Mathematical Analysis with the creation of a new theory of measure and hence a new definition of the integral, was also a extremely dedicated teacher.
		To highlight the originality of Lebesgue’s mathematical practices, a study of the historical development of Calculus from the seventeenth century until his time is presented, with the theory of functions serving as the leading thread of this development.

	Lebesgue, Henri Leon (1875-1941)
		Lebesgue graduated from the École Normale Supériere and, from 1921, taught at the College de France.
		He and Emile Borel founded the modern theory of functions of a real variable, Lebesgue's great contribution being his new general definition of an integral (1902), which became known as the Lebesgue integral (see integration).
		Although the Lebesgue integral was an example of the power of generalization, Lebesgue himself wasn't a fan of generalization and spent the rest of his life working on very specific problems, mostly in analysis.

		Dans cette thèse, Lebesgue présente la théorie d'une nouvelle intégrale, appelée depuis intégrale de Lebesgue, qui va considérément simplifier et amplifier l'étude des séries trigonométriques, et plus généralement toute l'analyse de Fourier.
		Lebesgue s'appuie sur les travaux de Jordan, Borel et Baire pour présenter une théorie des fonctions mesurables, qui peuvent être très discontinues.
		Etonnament peut-être, Lebesgue n'enseigna jamais sa propre théorie.

	Lebesgue, Henri Leon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Up to the end of the 19th century, mathematical analysis was limited to continuous functions, based largely on the Riemann method of integration.
		A year later, Lebesgue extended the usefulness of the definite integral by defining the Lebesgue integral: a method of extending the concept of area below a curve to include many discontinuous functions.
		Lebesgue served on the faculty of several French universities.

		It then explains Henri Lebesgue’s reformulation (developed in 1901), which mathematicians often consider the beginning point of a modern analysis of functions.
		The Lebesgue integral forms a “natural” mathematical venue for many fields such as probability theory and quantum mechanics.
		Topics include: why probability theory is best understood using Lebesgue measure, measure theory as an extension of the Riemann integral, and probability applications such as the Central Limit Theorem.

		At the beginning of the 20th century, Henri Lebesgue revolutionized the definition of the integral by introducing measure theory.
		His formulation has been taught throughout the 20th century as the most advanced notion of the integral.
		However, Arnaud Denjoy and Oskar Perron had independently published new definitions of the integral before Lebesgue’s results that went beyond his formulation, without the need for measure theory.
