My graduate text on measure theory (based on these lecture notes) is now published by the AMS as part of the Graduate Studies in Mathematics series. (See also my own blog page for this book, which among other things contains a draft copy of the book in PDF format.)

Anony.
First is Radamacher, but then Rademacher. Best
[I was unable to locate this typo. Could you provide a page number please? Thanks – T.]

S.V.
Page 228 – Rademacher (2x)
(btw I am not the Anony that posted the previous message.)
[Ah, got it. It turns out that this error was already corrected in the published version, which is why I couldn’t find it. -T.]

Hi Terry,
I am not sure if this has been fixed in the actual book, but exercise 1.6.13 in the draft is not true. I think it should ask you to prove that the inequality in exercise 1.6.12 is an equality.
[Thanks for the correction – T.]
