Measure

Explore Measure on MathWorld


A measure is a function that quantifies the size of a subset of a Euclidean space. Measures are used for integration and are important in differential equations and probability theory.

Measure is a graduate-level concept that would be first encountered in an analysis course.

Examples

Lebesgue Measure: Lebesgue measure is an extension of the classical notions of length and area to more complicated sets.

Prerequisites

Integral: An integral is a mathematical object that can be interpreted as an area or a generalization of area. Integrals and derivatives are the fundamental objects of calculus.
