Measure

The terms ``measure,'' ``measurable,'' etc., have very precise technical definitions (usually involving SigmaAlgebras) which makes them a little difficult to understand. However, the technical nature of thedefinitions is extremely important, since it gives a firm footing to concepts which are the basis for much ofAnalysis (including some of the slippery underpinnings of Calculus).


For example, every definition of an Integral is based on a particular measure: the Riemann Integral is based onJordan Measure, and the Lebesgue Integral is based on Lebesgue Measure. The study of measures and theirapplication to Integration is known as Measure Theory.


A measure is formally defined as a Nonnegative Map (the reals) such that and, if is a Countable Sequence in and the are pairwise Disjoint, then


If, in addition, , then is said to be a Probability Measure.


A measure may also be defined on Sets other than those in the Sigma Algebra . By adding to all sets to which assigns measure zero, we again obtain a Sigma Algebra and call this the ``completion'' of with respect to . Thus, the completion of a Sigma Algebra is the smallest Sigma Algebra containing andall sets of measure zero.
