95 softcover.Reviewed by J. Alan Alewine and Eric Schechter.A simple definition. Riemann's integral of 1867 can be summarized asThis summary conceals some of the complexity-for example, the limit is of a net, not a sequence-but it displays what we wish to emphasize: The integral is formed by combining the values f (τ i ) in a very direct fashion. The values of f are used less directly in Lebesgue's integral (1902), which can be described as lim n→∞ b a g n (t)dt. The approximating functions g n must be chosen carefully, using deep, abstract notions of measure theory. Simpler definitions are possible-for example, functional analysts might consider the metric completion of C[0, 1] using the L 1 norm-but such a definition does not give us easy access to the Lebesgue integral's simple and powerful properties such as the Monotone Convergence Theorem. We generally think in terms of those simple properties, rather than the various complicated definitions, when we actually use the Lebesgue integral.The KH integral (also known as the gauge integral, the generalized Riemann integral, etc.) was discovered or invented independently by Kurzweil and Henstock in the 1950's; it has attracted growing interest in recent years. It offers the best of both worlds: a powerful integral with a simple definition. In fact, its definition is nearly identical to that of the Riemann integral, as we now show. For any tagged partition
