When the first edition of this textbook published in 2011, it constituted a substantial revision of the best-selling Birkh�user title by the same author, A Concise Introduction to the Theory of Integration. Appropriate as a primary text for a one-semester graduate course in integration theory, this GTM is also useful for independent study. A complete solutions manual is available for instructors who adopt the text for their courses. This second edition has been revised as follows: �2.2.5 and �8.3 have been substantially reworked. New topics have been added. As an application of the material about Hermite functions in �7.3.2, the author has added a brief introduction to Schwartz's theory of tempered distributions in �7.3.4. Section �7.4 is entirely new and contains applications, including the Central Limit Theorem, of Fourier analysis to measures. Related to this are subsections �8.2.5 and �8.2.6, where L�vy's Continuity Theorem and Bochner's characterization of the Fourier transforms of Borel probability on N are proven. Subsection 8.1.2 is new and contains a proof of the Hahn Decomposition Theorem. Finally, there are several new exercises, some covering material from the original edition and others based on newly added material.
