Kline 1044-1051. Lebesgue was one of the finest mathematicians of the twentieth century. Two of his greatest accomplishments were his theory of integration and his concept of measure, both of which were first presented in his 1902 dissertation. The present work is based on Lebesgue’s lectures in 1902 and 1903 and is the first publication of this groundbreaking work in book form. A nice copy of one of the true high spots of twentieth century mathematics. Very Good. Item #000011512
