Introduction
Measure theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of measures, which are mathematical functions that assign a non-negative real number to subsets of a set. Originally developed to provide a rigorous foundation for integration theory, measure theory has since found applications in various fields such as probability theory, functional analysis, and differential equations. The study of measure theory and its extensions has become increasingly important in modern mathematics due to its wide range of applications and its ability to provide a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
This thesis aims to explore measure theory and its extensions in depth, examining the fundamental concepts and techniques in the field as well as the latest developments and applications. The thesis will also investigate the various extensions of measure theory, such as non-standard measures, signed measures, and outer measures, and their implications in different mathematical contexts.
