An Introduction to Integration and Measure Theory

This book describes integration and measure theory for readers interested in analysis, engineering, and economics. It gives a systematic account of Riemann-Stieltjes integration and deduces the Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure from the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral. LIMITATIONS OF THE RIEMANN INTEGRAL.
