Summary

Introduction to integration provides a unified account of integration theory, giving a practical guide to the Lebesgue integral and its uses, with a wealth of illustrative examples and exercises. The book begins with a simplified Lebesgue-style integral (in lieu of the more traditional Riemann integral), intended for a first course in integration. This suffices for elementary applications, and serves as an introduction to the core of the book.The final chapters present selected applicatio…

Critics Review

‘Priestley takes a great deal of care to motivate you to grasp the concepts and introduces plenty of examples.‘New Scientist, 3 October 1998

...my appreciation? It is always a touchy discussion when debating about the use of the Riemann (or an analogous to) or the Lebesgue approach for a beginner's course on integration theory. My point of view is quite close to the one of the author so there will be no arguing here. To the others, let me just say the following: take the book in your hands, read (part of) it and you will see that it is reasonable and advisable to present a rigorous introductionof the Lebesgue integration theory to beginners.'Belgian Mathematical SocietyPriestley takes a great deal of care to motivate you to grasp the concepts and introduces plenty of examples.‘New Scientist, 3 October 1998
