This course considers the limitations of the Riemann integral, and shows that it it necessary to develop a precise mathematical notion of ‘length’ and ‘area’ in order to overcome them. Thus we develop the concept of measure, and use it to construct the more powerful Lebesgue integral, and explore its properties. Finally we look at applications of measure and Lebesgue integration in modern probability theory.
