This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we describe the historical development of the modern integration theory by presenting the key ideas and insights that led to its shaping, from the first rigorous definition of the definite integral given by Cauchy in 1823, to Lebesgue's theory as it first appeared in his doctoral thesis of 1902. In the final part we also present recent approaches in integration theory. We show that various problems motivated the enrichment of the notion of integral, while one in particular constituted the most important trigger of this development from the beginnings well into the 20th century: the search for a better understanding of Fourier series. For our study, we principally look at original sources, and we provide detailed proofs for important results, often by elaborating on the authors' sketchy or heuristic arguments, malting thus the original results accessible to the modern reader. We then use this historical and epistemological analysis to raise some issues related to the teaching of integration at various levels at university, i.e., in calculus, analysis and measure theory courses. For this, we look at some typical textbooks and, inspired by the historical analysis, we give some suggestions for teaching. Our findings show that there might be some conceptual gaps between subsequent levels that are not necessarily insuperable, but require careful didactical analysis.
Download or read book An Introduction to Lebesgue Integration and Fourier Series written by Howard J. Wilcox and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arose out of the authors' desire to present Lebesgue integration and Fourier series on an undergraduate level, since most undergraduate texts do not cover this material or do so in a cursory way. The result is a clear, concise, well-organized introduction to such topics as the Riemann integral, measurable sets, properties of measurable sets, measurable functions, the Lebesgue integral, convergence and the Lebesgue integral, pointwise convergence of Fourier series and other subjects. The authors not only cover these topics in a useful and thorough way, they have taken pains to motivate the student by keeping the goals of the theory always in sight, justifying each step of the development in terms of those goals. In addition, whenever possible, new concepts are related to concepts already in the student's repertoire. Finally, to enable readers to test their grasp of the material, the text is supplemented by numerous examples and exercises. Mathematics students as well as students of engineering and science will find here a superb treatment, carefully thought out and well presented , that is ideal for a one semester course. The only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of advanced calculus, including the notions of compactness, continuity, uniform convergence and Riemann integration.
Download or read book Lebesgue Measure and Integration written by Frank Burk and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb text on the fundamentals of Lebesgue measure and integration. This book is designed to give the reader a solid understanding of Lebesgue measure and integration. 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. It offers an abundance of support materials, including helpful illustrations, examples, and problems. 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. It will also serve well as a supplement to courses in advanced measure theory and integration and as an invaluable reference long after course work has been completed.
Download or read book Theories of Integration written by Douglas S. Kurtz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a historical development of the integration theories of Riemann, Lebesgue, Henstock-Kurzweil, and McShane, showing how new theories of integration were developed to solve problems that earlier theories could not handle. It develops the basic properties of each integral in detail and provides comparisons of the different integrals. The chapters covering each integral are essentially independent and can be used separately in teaching a portion of an introductory course on real analysis. There is a sufficient supply of exercises to make the book useful as a textbook.
Download or read book A User Friendly Introduction to Lebesgue Measure and Integration written by Gail S. Nelson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A User-Friendly Introduction to Lebesgue Measure and Integration provides a bridge between an undergraduate course in Real Analysis and a first graduate-level course in Measure Theory and Integration. The main goal of this book is to prepare students for what they may encounter in graduate school, but will be useful for many beginning graduate students as well. The book starts with the fundamentals of measure theory that are gently approached through the very concrete example of Lebesgue measure. With this approach, Lebesgue integration becomes a natural extension of Riemann integration. Next, -spaces are defined. Then the book turns to a discussion of limits, the basic idea covered in a first analysis course. The book also discusses in detail such questions as: When does a sequence of Lebesgue integrable functions converge to a Lebesgue integrable function? What does that say about the sequence of integrals? Another core idea from a first analysis course is completeness. Are these -spaces complete? What exactly does that mean in this setting? This book concludes with a brief overview of General Measures. An appendix contains suggested projects suitable for end-of-course papers or presentations. The book is written in a very reader-friendly manner, which makes it appropriate for students of varying degrees of preparation, and the only prerequisite is an undergraduate course in Real Analysis.
Download or read book An Introduction to Measure Theory written by Terence Tao and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a graduate text introducing the fundamentals of measure theory and integration theory, which is the foundation of modern real analysis. 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, Fubini's theorem, and the Carathéodory extension theorem. Classical differentiation theorems, such as the Lebesgue and Rademacher differentiation theorems, are also covered, as are connections with probability theory. The material is intended to cover a quarter or semester's worth of material for a first graduate course in real analysis. There is an emphasis in the text on tying together the abstract and the concrete sides of the subject, using the latter to illustrate and motivate the former. The central role of key principles (such as Littlewood's three principles) as providing guiding intuition to the subject is also emphasized. There are a large number of exercises throughout that develop key aspects of the theory, and are thus an integral component of the text. As a supplementary section, a discussion of general problem-solving strategies in analysis is also given. The last three sections discuss optional topics related to the main matter of the book.
Download or read book General Integration and Measure written by Alan J. Weir and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1974-11-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a sequel to Dr Weir's undergraduate textbook on Lebesgue Integration and Measure (CUP. 1973) in which he provided a concrete approach to the Lebesgue integral in terms of step functions and went on from there to deduce the abstract concept of Lebesgue measure. In this second volume, the treatment of the Lebesgue integral is generalised to give the Daniell integral and the related general theory of measure. This approach via integration of elementary functions is particularly well adapted to the proof of Riesz's famous theorems about linear functionals on the classical spaces C (X) and LP and also to the study of topological notions such as Borel measure. This book will be used for final year honours courses in pure mathematics and for graduate courses in functional analysis and measure theory.

Download or read book Lectures on Functional Analysis and the Lebesgue Integral written by Vilmos Komornik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook, based on three series of lectures held by the author at the University of Strasbourg, presents functional analysis in a non-traditional way by generalizing elementary theorems of plane geometry to spaces of arbitrary dimension. This approach leads naturally to the basic notions and theorems. Most results are illustrated by the small lp spaces. The Lebesgue integral, meanwhile, is treated via the direct approach of Frigyes Riesz, whose constructive definition of measurable functions leads to optimal, clear-cut versions of the classical theorems of Fubini-Tonelli and Radon-Nikodým. Lectures on Functional Analysis and the Lebesgue Integral presents the most important topics for students, with short, elegant proofs. The exposition style follows the Hungarian mathematical tradition of Paul Erdős and others. The order of the first two parts, functional analysis and the Lebesgue integral, may be reversed. In the third and final part they are combined to study various spaces of continuous and integrable functions. Several beautiful, but almost forgotten, classical theorems are also included. Both undergraduate and graduate students in pure and applied mathematics, physics and engineering will find this textbook useful. Only basic topological notions and results are used and various simple but pertinent examples and exercises illustrate the usefulness and optimality of most theorems. Many of these examples are new or difficult to localize in the literature, and the original sources of most notions and results are indicated to help the reader understand the genesis and development of the field.
