		PlanetMath: fundamental theorems of calculus for Lebesgue integration
		Loosely, the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus serve to demonstrate that integration and differentiation are inverse processes.
		This is version 13 of fundamental theorems of calculus for Lebesgue integration, born on 2002-02-24, modified 2004-03-03.

		The concept of Riemann integration was developed first, and Lebesgue integrals were developed to deal with pathological cases for which the Riemann integral was not defined.
		This approach is motivated by calculus, and is the main method used for calculating the area under the curve as described in the preceding paragraph, for functions given by formulae.
		Both the Riemann and the Lebesgue integral are approaches to integration which seek to measure the area under the curve, and the overall schema in both cases is the same.

	Lebesgue integration
		Lebesgue integration is a framework for extending the integral to a very large class of functions.
		The Lebesgue definition considers a different class of easily-calculated integrals than the Riemann definition, which is the main reason the Lebesgue integral is better behaved.
		In the context of Lebesgue integration, sets such as X × Y are sometimes called rectangles, even though they are far more complicated than the quadrilaterals of the same name.

	integration
		The first theory of integration was developed by Archimedes with his method of quadratures, but this could be applied only in circumstances where there was a high degree of geometric symmetry.
		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.

	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.
		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.

		Lebesgue dissociates the notions of primitive and indefinite integral.
		For Michel, the topology of integration theory is therefore mainly the topology of compactness (XI).
		Lebesgue showed that his integral is the limit of Riemann sums, and so did Denjoy, though neither gave anything explicit.

	Measure
		One of the major drawbacks of the theory of integration taught to secondary pupils and college first-years in beginning calculus courses is its inability to handle sets that are not the countable unions and countable intersections of intervals.
		This theory of integration, whose origins lie in the seventeenth century work of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, is called Riemann integration.
		The Lebesgue measurable sets form a σ-algebra that is slightly larger and includes the Borel σ-algebra on the real numbers, the domain of the usual length function.

	[No title]
		An introduction to the Lebesgue integral, Lebesgue measure, and convergence theorems, with application to function spaces such as the LP spaces.
		In mathematics, the Lebesgue measure is the standard way of assigning a length, area or volume to subsets of Euclidean space.
		A Lebesgue measure of ∞ is possible, but even so, assuming the axiom of choice, not all subsets of Rn are Lebesgue measurable.

	Henri Lebesgue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lebesgue's idea was to first build the integral for what he called simple functions, measurable functions that take only finitely many values.
		Lebesgue integration has the beautiful property that every function with a Riemann integral also has a Lebesgue integral, and for those functions the two integrals agree.
		Lebesgue's technique for turning a measure into an integral generalises easily to many other situations, leading to the modern field of measure theory.

		The main difference between Riemann and Lebesgue integration can be described as follows: for the Riemann integral the domain of the function is decomposed into small intervals, on which the function is almost constant, and the integral is approximated by the sum of the areas of the resulting `rectangles'.
		For the Lebesgue integral the range of the function is divided into small intervals, and the integral is again approximated by sums of areas of rectangles, but the bases of these rectangles are now much more complicated sets than before (in particular they are no longer intervals).
		The success of this approach to integration goes well beyond the original problem of integrating functions of one or more real variables: measure theory lies at the root of almost every branch of modern analysis, as well as of probability theory.

	Lebesgue integration Summary
		Thus the Lebesgue integral is a linear transformation on the vector space of integrable functions.
		Thus the Lebesgue method of integration extends the Riemann method of integration to a wider class of functions.
		Lebesgue integration is a mathematical construction that extends the integral to a larger class of functions; it also extends the domains on which these functions can be defined.

	Lebesgue integration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		In mathematics, the integral of a function can be regarded in the simplest case as the area between the graph of that function and the x-axis.
		Lebesgue integration is a mathematical theory that defines the integral for a very large class of functions.
		In this approach the theory of integration has two distinct parts: A theory of measurable sets and measures on these sets.

	Amazon.com: Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean Space (Revised Ed.) (Jones and Bartlett Books in Mathematics): Books: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		"Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean Space" is a nearly ideal introduction to Lebesgue measure, integration, and differentiation.
		Moreover, the particular subject of Lebesgue integration and its generalizations is made even more confusing by a wide variety of approaches depending on an author's penchants--many of whom are enamored with a purely axiomatic approach and who make little or no appeal to intuition or--God forbid!--pictures.
		Inside the cover sheets are lists of integration formulae, a fourier transform table, and a table of "assorted facts" on things like the Gamma function; which show that this is not only a book on Lebesgue integration but a calculus book with the Lebesgue integral occupying center stage.

	An Introduction to the Gauge Integral
		In 1902, Henri Lebesgue devised a new approach to integration, overcoming many of the defects of the Riemann integral.
		Lebesgue's definition is appreciably more complicated, but Lebesgue's techniques yield better convergence theorems and, for the most part, more integrable functions.
		Every introductory textbook on Lebesgue integrals includes a short proof (due to Vitali) of the existence of a nonmeasurable set; the characteristic function of that set is then a nonmeasurable function.

	Wiley::Lebesgue Measure and Integration: An Introduction
		A superb text on the fundamentals of Lebesgue measure and integration.

Starting with a thorough presentation of the preliminary concepts of undergraduate analysis, this book covers all the important topics, including measure theory, measurable functions, and integration.
		Lebesgue Measure and Integration is the ideal text for an advanced undergraduate analysis course or for a first-year graduate course in mathematics, statistics, probability, and other applied areas.

		Measure theory and integration is the study of lengths, surface area, and volumes in general spaces.

	Ways of learning Lebesgue integration
		But Apostol does not introduce the Lebesgue integration by way of a Theory of Measure.
		Instead he prefers to define Lebesgue integrals in this order: for step functions, for upper functions, for Lebesgue functions, for measurable functions.
		if you have measure theory first then the integral of a positive fucnion can be defined as the measure of the region under the rgaph, and if you have integration first then the measure of a set is the integral of its characteristic function.
