AMS Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Sept. 2006.
This text is based on lectures given in the basic graduate measure theory course, Math 203 at UNC. Several goals determined the structure of the notes:
- Quickly get to the construction of Lebesgue measure on the real line
- Then quickly get to the basic results on the Lebesgue integral
- Follow this with further constructions of measures, on Euclidean space, manifolds, etc.
- Then include some more advanced topics
