  Measure
Measure informs analysis and is one of the key building blocks of the modern theory of analysis and probability.
Measure Property 2: The value of μ under any finite or countably infinite disjoint union of subsets of X that are also elements of M is equal to the finite or countably infinite sum respectively of the value of μ under each of the subsets.
Measure allows the expansion of the definition of the integral to functions whose domain is any arbitrary set with a corresponding σ-algebra and measure.

The modern construction of the Lebesgue measure, based on outer measures, is due to Carathéodory.

 PlanetMath: Lebesgue integral
The Lebesgue integral equals the Riemann integral everywhere the latter is defined; the advantage to the Lebesgue integral is that it is often well defined even when the corresponding Riemann integral is undefined.
Moreover, the conditions under which Lebesgue integrals may be exchanged with each other or with limits or derivatives, etc., are far less stringent, making the Lebesgue theory a more convenient tool than the Riemann integral for theoretical purposes.

 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.
What made the new definition important was that Lebesgue was able to recognise in it an analytic tool capable of dealing with - and to a large extent overcoming - the numerous theoretical difficulties that had arisen in connection with Riemann's theory of integration.

 5.1.3 Basic Measure Theory Definitions
Measure theory is an advanced mathematical topic that is well beyond the scope of this book; however, it is worthwhile to briefly introduce some of the basic definitions because they sometimes arise in sampling-based planning.
One important concept with Lebesgue measure is the existence of sets of measure zero.
Measure theory can be used to define very general notions of integration that are much more powerful than the Riemann integral that is learned in classical calculus.

 Antimeta: Banach-Tarski, the Axiom of Choice, and Notions of Size
By contrast, Lebesgue introduced a much more precise notion of measure, assigning a real number to every measurable set, and saying that sets of measure 0 are "almost empty" and their complements contain "almost all" points.
In the reals, this is done by declaring the measure of any open or closed interval to be the difference between the endpoints, and then saying that this measure is additive for disjoint unions of measurable sets.
The dense open sets in the decomposition must have Lebesgue measure less than that of the small ball, but their boundary must be a meager set whose Lebesgue measure makes up for the difference.

 Lebesgue, Henri-Léon
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.

Moreover, because the real line can be written as the union of a Lebesgue null set and a first category set, this latter sigma-ideal is a strengthening of "small" that is significantly stronger than what either of these two sigma-ideals separately provides for.
By outer regularity of Lebesgue measure, there exists a G_delta set in R containing these endpoints that has the same Lebesgue measure as the set of these endpoints.] Let G = H intersect C. I claim that G is a Lebesgue null and first category set that is not sigma-Jordan null.
there exists a measurable set F such that the metric density of F exists and is different from 0 or 1 at each point of E. [NOTE: Goffman explicitly states the "only if" part as his theorem 3, but in his theorem 2 he only states "first category Lebesgue null" for the "if" part.

 Theorem 7.3.8: Properties of Lebesgue measure
All intervals are measurable and the measure of an interval is its length
That countable intersections of measurable sets are measurable follows from de Morgan laws and because complements of measurable sets are measurable.
Since the outer measure of an interval is its length, and intervals are now measurable, their (Lebesgue) measure must also be their length.

 Wiley::Lebesgue Measure and Integration: An Introduction
It focuses on only the most fundamental concepts, namely Lebesgue measure for R and Lebesgue integration for extended real-valued functions on R. 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.
To further enhance the learning experience, the author provides a historical context that traces the struggle to define "area" and "area under a curve" that led eventually to Lebesgue measure 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.

 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 integration Summary
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.
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.
Measure theory initially was created to provide a detailed analysis of the notion of length of subsets of the real line and more generally area and volume of subsets of Euclidean spaces.

 The Lebesgue differentiation theorem and the Szemeredi regularity lemma « What’s new
This is Littlewood’s first principle.) One can also deduce the Lebesgue differentiation theorem back from the Lebesgue density theorem by approximating f by a finite linear combination of indicator functions; we leave this as an exercise.
Let’s focus on the first version of the Lebesgue approximation theorem, and in particular in the case when A is compact.
The strong Lebesgue regularity lemma can also be used to deduce the (one-dimensional case of the) Rademacher differentiation theorem, namely that a Lipschitz continuous function from [0,1] to the reals is almost everywhere differentiable.
