Description
The Lebesgue integral is now standard for both applications and advanced mathematics. This books starts with a review of the familiar calculus integral and then constructs the Lebesgue integral from the ground up using the same ideas. A Primer of Lebesgue Integration has been used successfully both in the classroom and for individual study.
Bear presents a clear and simple introduction for those intent on further study in higher mathematics. Additionally, this book serves as a refresher providing new insight for those in the field. The author writes with an engaging, commonsense style that appeals to readers at all levels.
Readership
Advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics.

Reviews
"This well-written little book provides ... an introduction to the Lebesgue integral. The book is written very clearly and suggestively and can be recommended to students." Zentralblatt for Mathematik
