Measure, Integration & Real Analysis

errata

I tried hard to make Measure, Integration & Real Analysis error-free, but spotting mistakes in one's own writing can be difficult in a book-length work. All typos in the print version that I know about are listed below. These typos have all been corrected in the current electronic version dated 31 August 2021 (freely available here). The electronic version of the book available from Springer and on several other websites is older and does not include corrections to the typos below.

• page 4, line 5: “set” should be “nonempty set”. (corrected 9 July 2020)

• page 6, line 7 from bottom: “the first equality” should be “the equality”. (corrected 3 September 2020)

• page 23, lines 8 and 10: “D” should be “V ”. (corrected 1 June 2020)

• page 40, Exercise 24: This exercise is correct as stated, but its solution requires tools beyond the scope of this book. Thus the hypotheses have been slightly changed in the electronic version of the book (freely available here) to make this exercise solvable with the tools presented in the book.
