Zusatztext This is a very readable and well-planned book! most suitable for all mathematics graduates. The emphasis is on practice with many applications in the later chapters. Klappentext 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 examples and exercises. Intended as a first course in integration theory for students familiar with real analysis! the book begins with a simplified Lebesgue integral! which is then developed to provide an entry point for important results in the field. The final chapters present selected applications! mostly drawn from Fourier analysis. The emphasis throughout is on integrable functions rather than on measures. Designed as an undergraduate or graduate textbook! it is a companion volume to the author's Introduction to Complex Analysis and is aimed at both pure and applied mathematicians. Zusammenfassung This account of integration theory gives a practical guide to the Lebesgue integral with examples. Aimed at both pure and applied mathematicians, it begins with a simplified integral intended for a first course in integration, serving as introduction to Lebesgue integral proper. Last chapters present selected applications to Fourier analysis.
