Thread: Book for measure theory

Hello all,

I am looking for a good introductory book for measure theory and integration. I have looked at very many books and they all lack one thing: a solid buildup to the topic and applications. I am looking for a book which takes a slow a gradual approach in motivating the subject and including a much more pedagogical buildup.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

My favorite text for measure theory and integration was one designed and used by a professor Paul Loya at Binghamton University in New York. A friend of mine is friends with Dr. Loya and recommended the book to me when I was looking for a refresher. I cannot find where I placed my original, but I found it again here:

I have two suggestions:
i) Measure, Integration, and Functional Analysis by Robert Ash

ii) Measure and Integration by S.K.Berberian

Both are classics. The first is more basic than the second.

Both are classics. You can read reviews about both at https://edubirdie.com/do-my-assignment. The first is more basic than the second.

Hello. Are these books easy to read for a beginner? Or can you recommend some other? Thanks in advance.
