Show that $f \circ T: {\bf R}^{d'} \to {\bf C}$ is also measurable. (Hint: uses Exercises 1.2.21 and 1.2.22.) What happens if the requirement that $T$ be surjective is dropped?”.
  33. p. 52Exercise 1.3.9 should be moved to after Lemma 1.3.15 (Markov’s inequality), and the following hint added: “Show that $f$ can be expressed as the increasing pointwise limit of piecewise constant functions $g_n$, as well as a decreasing pointwise limit of piecewise constant functions $h_n$, with the Riemann integral of $h_n - g_n$ converging to zero. Using Markov’s inequality, show that the difference $h-g$ between the limit $h$ of the $h_n$ and the limit $g$ of $g_n$ is then zero almost everywhere.

  35. p. 58In Exercise 1.3.21, “greatest integer less than” should be “greatest integer less than or equal to”.
  36. p. 60At the end of Theorem 1.3.20, add “We call a function compactly supported if its support is contained in a compact set.”
  37. p. 64In the proof of Theorem 1.3.28, $2^{n+1}$ and $2^{n-1}$ should both be $2^n$, $\varepsilon/2$ should be $\varepsilon$, and the sentence fragment “, and the same is true for local uniform limits (because continuity is a local property)” should be deleted.

  52. p. 86After Definition 1.4.38, add to the following paragraph “Clearly, this definition…” the sentence “As in that definition, one can extend the integral to measurable functions that are $\mu$-almost everywhere defined, rather than everywhere defined.”
  53. p. 87Replace the second half of the last sentence of Example 1.4.40 by “but the support of the $f_n$ are becoming increasingly wide, and so Exercise 1.4.41 does not apply”. In Example 1.4.41, “converges pointwise to $f$” should be “converges pointwise to $f := 0$“.
  54. p. 88In the proof of Theorem 1.4.43, “vertical truncation” should be “horizontal truncation”.

In 1.5.3 (vii) “converges in $L^1$ norm” should be “converges in $L^1$ norm to zero”. Before Remark 1.5.8, in part (iii), add the word “scenario” for consistency with (i) and (ii).
  61. p. 103Section 1.5.5, line 4: “examples shows” should be “examples show”. In the second paragraph of Section 1.5.5, $g$ should take values in $[0,+\infty]$, rather than ${\bf C}$. In Exercise 1.5.9, “using Exercise 1.5.6” should be “using Exercise 1.5.8”.
  62. p. 104In Exercise 1.5.10, the dominated convergence theorem should be used instead of the monotone convergence theorem.
  63. p. ?The definition of uniform integrability in Definition 1.5.11 is a little weaker than the commonly accepted one in the case of infinite measure spaces. The blog post associated to this section contains the corrected version (with attendant changes to some subsequent material).
  64. p. 106In the second display after (1.17), $\leq \varepsilon \leq$ should just be $\leq$.
  65. p. 107In Exercise 1.5.19, a comma is missing between “almost uniformly” and “pointwise”.
  66. p. 108line 5: a right parenthesis is missing before “is commonly used”. At the start of Section 1.6, add “Throughout this section, the notions of measurability and “almost everywhere” are understood to be with respect to Lebesgue measure.”
  67. p. 112For Theorem 1.6.11 and Exercise 1.6.5, “definite integral” should be “indefinite integral” (because the endpoint $x$ is allowed to vary). In Theorem 1.6.11, $[-\infty,x]$ should be $(-\infty,x]$.
  68. p. 1143rd paragraph, line 3: the symbol $F'$ should be an $f$. In the third display from bottom, $(f_h-f)_h$ should be $(f_h-f)$. In the proof of Proposition 1.6.13, “Applying Littlewood’s second principle … to … $F'$” should be “Applying Littlewood’s second principle … to … $f$“.
  69. p. 115-116Exercise 1.6.9: The second item here should be labeled (ii) (and the third should be labeled (iii)). In Remark 1.6.15, “equal to 2” should be “equal to 4”, and “if one force” should be “if one wishes to force”.
  70. p. 117In the paragraph after (1.24), “$h$ is sufficiently close to $x$” should be “$h$ is sufficiently close to $0$“.
  71. p. 118In Lemma 1.6.17(ii), $[a,b]$ should be $(a,b]$, and similarly for the second display after (1.25).
  72. p. 119Near the bottom of the page, “Corollary 1.6.5” should be “Exercise 1.6.5”. In the second paragraph, replace “but not $b$” with “but is disjoint from $[b_n,b]$ (since $F(y) \leq F(b_n) < F(t)$ for all $b_n \leq y \leq b$)”, and $t_* \in [t,b)$ should be $t_* \in [t,b_n)$.
  73. p. 120Exercise 1.6.13: “Lemma 1.6.16” should be “Exercise 1.6.12”, and the hypothesis $\lambda>0$ should be added.
  74. p. 121Before Exercise 1.6.14, “Lebesgue point for ${\bf R}^d$” should be “Lebesgue point for $f$“.
  75. p. ?In Exercise 1.6.20, Exercise 1.1.14 should be Lemma 1.2.11.
  76. p. 122In Remark 1.6.21, the fragment $\geq \lambda \}$ should be deleted. In Theorem 1.6.20, the second integral should be over ${\bf R}^d$ rather than ${\bf R}$.
  77. p. 124In the first and second displays, the integrals over ${\bf R}$ should instead be over ${\bf R}^d$.
  78. p. 125Exercise 1.6.21: “Besicovich” should be “Besicovitch”; part (i) should be $I_i$ and $I_j$ as opposed to $I_n$ and $I_m$. In part (ii) of this exercise, $I'_m$ should be $I'_j$. In the hint for the exercise, “the the” should be “the”. In Exercise 1.6.22, “positive length” should be “positive finite length”. In Exercise 1.6.20, the integral over ${\bf R}$ should instead be over ${\bf R}^d$.
  79. p. 127In Exercise 1.6.27(iii), add the parenthetical “In fact one can take $C'_d = 1$.”
  80. p. ?In the proof of Lemma 1.6.28, “$E_{r,R}$ is contained” should be “$E_{r,R} \cap (a,b)$ is contained”
  81. p. 128Section 1.6.3, line 4: “continuous not differentiable” should be “continuous but not differentiable”. In Exercise 1.6.28(ii), delete “8-dyadic”, and replace “n” with “m” throughout to reduce confusion. Also, replace $\sin(8^n \pi x)$ with $\cos(16^n \pi x)$, and replace $8$ with $16$ throughout the exercise.
  82. p. 129In part (iv), “lower right derivative” should be “lower left derivative”. Afterwards, “rather than on the endpoints” should be “rather than on the real line”. After Exercise 1.6.30, “four derivatives” should be “four Dini derivatives”.
  83. p. 130In the second to last line (in the proof of Lemma 1.6.26), $G(b_n) \leq G(a_n)$ should be $G(b_n) \geq G(a_n)$. Similarly, on page 132 in the proof of Lemma 1.6.28, $G(-a_n) \leq G(-b_n)$ should be $G(-a_n) \geq G(-b_n)$ and $G(-x) \leq G(-y)$ should similarly be $G(-x) \geq G(-y)$.
  84. p. 131-132$D_-$ and $D_+$ should be $D^-$ and $D^+$ respectively throughout. In the second display, $m(E_{r,R})$ should be $m(E_{r,R} \cap [a,b])$. At the end of Exercise 1.6.31, add a right parenthesis. In the paragraph preceding Definition 1.6.30, remove the period after Lemma 1.6.26.
  85. p. 133In the proof of Lemma 1.6.31, $F^+$ should be $F_+$. At the end of the proof, add that by continuity of $F_c$, one can assume that $a,b$ avoid the jumps.
  86. p. 134On the eighth line: “$G$ is discontinuous” should be “$F$ is discontinuous”.
  87. p. ?In the proof of Theorem 1.6.25, in the display, Lebesgue measure $m()$ is missing on the left-hand side.
  88. p. 135Before Definition 1.6.33, “absolutely convergent functions” should be “absolutely integrable functions”. After the first display, “four Dini derivatives” should be “three Dini derivatives”. In Definition 1.6.33, $x_{i+1}$ should be $x_{i-1}$, and similarly on p. 136, 137. “Since $F'_\varepsilon$ is almost everywhere differentiable” should be “Since $F_\varepsilon$ is almost everywhere differentiable”.
  89. p. ?After Remark 1.6.38, “monotone non-increasing” should be “monotone non-decreasing”.
  90. p. ?In Exercise 1.6.39, a $dx$ is missing in the integral.
  91. p. 137In the second paragraph, “it suffices to (by writing $F = F_+-(F_+-F_-)$ to show that $F_+-F$” should be “it suffices (by writing $F = F^+ - (F^+-F)$) to show that $F^+-F$“. “is a monotone increasing function” -> “is a monotone non-decreasing function”, and “for all $a \leq b$” should be stated after the second display.
  92. p. 141in the definition (i) after Remark 1.6.38, “contains $x_0$” should be “whose closure contains $x_0$“.
  93. p. 144In the third paragraph of the proof of the rising sun lemma (Lemma 1.6.17), $b$ should be $b_n$ in the definition of $A$ and in the next two occurrences (i.e. “$t$ but not $b$” should be $t$ but not $b_n$“, and “$t_* \in [t,b)$” should be $t_* \in [t,b_n)$“.
  94. p. ?In Exercise 1.6.47, the last two parts of the exercise should be numbered (vii) and (viii) rather than (1) and (2).
  95. p. 145bottom: “$f'(x)$ exists” should be “$F'(x)$ exists”. After Exercise 1.6.52, “ensure the almost everywhere existence” should be “ensure the absolute integrability of the derivative”.
  96. p. 149-152In Section 1.7.1, “Caratheodory extension theorem” should be “Caratheodory lemma” throughout.
  97. p. 150Exercise 1.7.2: “Lebesgue outer measurable” should be ” the Lebesgue outer measure”
  98. p. 151In the last two displays, and in the first display on the next page, $E_{N+1} \backslash \bigcup_{n=1}^N E_n$ may be simplified to $E_{N+1}$. In the second paragraph, “a disjoint sequence of” should be “a sequence of disjoint”.
  99. p. ?In Remark 1.7.6, ${\mathbf R}^n$ should be ${\mathbf R}^d$.
  100. p. ?In Example 1.7.8, “finite unions” should be “finite boolean combinations”.
  101. p. 156In Theorem 1.7.9, $-\infty < b < a < \infty$ should be $-\infty < a < b < \infty$. In the second paragraph of the proof of this theorem, before “, adopting the obvious conventions”, add “to be the required value of ${\mu_F(I)}$ given by (1.33) (e.g., ${|[a,b]|_F = F_+(b)-F_-(a)}$)”. In the statement concerning disjoint intervals that share a common endpoint, add “in such a fashion that their union is also an interval”.
  102. p. 157Before (1.35), replace “By subadditivity, it suffices to show that” with “By finite additivity, we have $\mu_0(E) \geq \sum_{n=1}^N \mu_0(E_n)$ for any $N$, so it suffices to show that”. In the second display after (1.35), the right-hand side should be $\inf_{U \supset E_n} \mu_0(U)$ rather than $\inf_{U \supset E_n} \mu_0(E_n)$. “We suppose that $E = {\mathcal B}_0$” should be “We suppose that $E \in {\mathcal B}_0$“.
  103. p. 159In Exercise 1.7.13, add a right parenthesis after “absolutely integrable”.
  104. p. 160In Exercise 1.7.14(ii), “delta functions” should be “Dirac measures” for consistency. In the first line, $-\infty < b < a < \infty$ should be $-\infty < a < b < \infty$.
  105. p. 161In Exercise 1.7.18 (i), $Y \in B_Y$ should be $F \in B_Y$. In the second display, $\{ \pi_Y^{-1}(E): E \in {\mathcal B}_Y \}$ should be $\{ \pi_Y^{-1}(F): F \in {\mathcal B}_Y \}$
  106. p. 162Exercise 1.7.19(ii) is not correct as stated and should be deleted.
  107. p. 163In the third paragraph of the proof of Proposition 1.7.11, $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \mu(S_n)$ should be $\sum_{ n=1}^\infty \mu_0(S_n)$.
  108. p. 164“integrate in $X$” should be “integrate in $x$“.
  109. p. 165Exercise 1.7.21: Add the line: “In particular, $X \times (Y \times Z)$ and $(X \times Y) \times Z$ are isomorphic as measure spaces and can thus safely be denoted as $X \times Y \times Z$.” In the definition of a monotone class, “is a collection” should be “to be a collection”. In Example 1.7.13, $({\mathbf R}^d, {\mathcal L}[{\mathbf R}^{d'}])$ should be $({\mathbf R}^{d'}, {\mathcal L}[{\mathbf R}^{d'}])$. In Exercise 1.7.21, “$\sigma$-finite sets” should be “$\sigma$-finite measure spaces”.
  110. p. 167The sentence preceding Theorem 1.7.18 should be deleted. In parts (i) and (ii) of that theorem, the integrals should be indicated to be over the $y$ and $x$ variables respectively. In Remark 1.7.16, “Tonelli’s theorem for sums” should be “Tonelli’s theorem for series”.
  111. p. 168in (1.37), the third integral should have X and Y interchanged (as well as the measures $d\mu_Y(y)$ and $d\mu_X(x)$). In the proof of Theorem 1.7.18, Exercise 1.4.28 should be Exercise 1.4.26.
  112. p. 169In Exercise 1.7.22, “the counting measure (…) $\#$” should be “the counting measure $\#$ (…)”, and “Let … is … and … is ” should be “Let … be … and … be”. The hint in (iv) should be refined: one of the two integration orders can be used to build a candidate measure, but the other one is problematic. Instead, one should use Caratheodory’s theorem with a suitable premeasure. In the second line of (1.38), the integral should be over $Y$ rather than $X$, and $d\mu_X(x)$ should be $d\mu_Y(y)$. In the seventh line from the bottom, “equal to one for every $y$” should be “equal to one for every $x$“.
  113. p. 170In Exercise 1.7.23, the right-hand side of the display should read $\int_{[0,1]} (\int_{[0,1]} f(x,y)\ dx)\ dy$ rather than $\int_{[0,1]} (\int_{[0,1]} f(x,y)\ dy)\ dx$. Also, “exist and are absolutely integrable” should be “exist as absolutely integrable integrals” (two occurrences). In the statement of Theorem 1.7.21(iii), the second appearance of $\int_X (\int_Y f(x,y)\ d\mu_Y(y))\ d\mu_X(x)$ should instead be $\int_Y (\int_X f(x,y)\ d\mu_X(x))\ d\mu_Y(y)$. In Remark 1.7.22, “$\sigma$-finite setting” should be “non-$\sigma$-finite setting”.
  114. p. 171In Exercise 1.7.24, “Show that if” should be “Show that”.
  115. p. 175In the last complete paragraph, “for thus purpose” should be “for this purpose”.
  116. p. 186In Section 2.1.18, the introduction of the limit inferior should use := instead of =.
  117. p. 187In the display before Remark 2.2.3, $h \to {\bf R}^d \backslash \{0\}$ should be $h \in {\bf R}^d \backslash \{0\}$.
  118. p. 188After (2.2), $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_0} f$ should just be $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_0}$.
  119. p. ?In the proof of Theorem 2.2.4, “as ${\bf Q}^d$ is rational” should be “as ${\bf Q}^d$ is countable”.
  120. p. 189In the second paragraph, a comma is missing between “For $v=0$” and “$E_v$ is clearly”. In the third paragraph, “$E$ is a null set” should be “$E_v$ is a null set”. In the fourth paragraph, “${\bf Q}^d$ is rational” should be “${\bf Q}^d$ is countable”. In the definition of $E^{y_0}$, $E$ should be $E_v$. The definition of F-volume is missing the text “to equal the right-hand side of (1.33)”; also, one could replace “F-volume” by “F-length” to be more descriptive.
  121. p. 191The modified function $F$ should take values in ${\bf R}$ rather than ${\bf R}^d$.
  122. p. 194In the final sentence of Section 2.3, ${\bf E} X$ should be ${\bf E}(X)$ for notational consistency.
  123. p. 195In Exercise 2.4.1(3), $E$ should be $E_A$. In Exercise 2.4.1(8), $x_B \to f(x_B,x_{A\backslash B})$ should be $x_B \mapsto f(x_B,x_{A\backslash B})$.
  124. p. 197In the final display, $K'_N$ should be defined as $\bigcap_{N'=1}^N \pi_{B_{N'} \leftarrow B_N}^{-1}(K_{N'})$ rather than $\bigcup_{N'=1}^N \pi_{B_{N'} \leftarrow B_N}^{-1}(K_{N})$. On the first display of the next page, the first occurrence of $\varepsilon/2^N$ should be $\sum_{N'=1}^N \varepsilon/2^{N'+1}$, and the final $\varepsilon - \varepsilon/2^N$ should just be $\varepsilon/2$. In the seventh paragraph, $\bigcup_{n=1}^N E_N$ should be $\bigcup_{n=1}^N E_n$.
  125. p. 205The index entry for “restriction (measure)” should point to Example 1.4.25 rather than Exercise 1.4.35 (which could instead be referenced by “restriction (function)”.
