The Riemann Integral was developed as a way to calculate the area under a curve. Then came a function that was impossible to integrate. This dilemma would lead one mathematician, Henri Lebesgue, to invent an entirely new approach. The Lebesgue Theory of Integration was a much better theory of integration and it would ultimately change the way we think about the integral forever. _____ Join my Patreon community:   / abidebyreason   _____ Video on the Vitali Set:    • Math's Strangest Set   What is a Hilbert Space?    • What is a Hilbert Space?   What is a Banach Space?    • Weird spaces where π = 4   _____ Article on the Lebesgue Integral: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.08908 Music: Epidemic Sound Animations created using Manim: https://www.manim.community/ Illustrations and Thumbnails: Christine Kosakowski This video was sponsored by Brilliant
