Measure Theory

Measure theory seeks to assign a measure, or quantity, to certain sets (typically in n-dimensional space) which is consistent, reasonably general, and agrees with our intuition of length, area and volume in familiar situations. With this, one can develop the Lebesgue theory of integration which has several advantages over the older Riemann integral. The material is fundamental to modern mathematical analysis, particularly stochastic processes and the mathematical models of financial markets.
