本书是作者在莫斯科国立大学数学力学系的讲稿基础上编写而成的：第一卷包括了通常测度论教材中的内容：测度的构造与延拓，Lebesgue积分的定义及基本性质，Jordan分解，Radon-Nikodym定理，Fourier变换，卷积，Lp空间，测度空间，Newton-Leibniz公式，极大函数，Henstock-Kurzweil；积分等。每章最后都附有非常丰富的补充与习题，其中包含许多有用的知识，例如：Whitney分解，Lebesgue-Stieltjes积分，Hausdorff测度，Brunn-Minkowski不等式，Hellinger积分与Heltinger距离，BMO类，Calderon-Zygmund分解等。书的最后有详尽的参考文献及历史注记。这是一本很好的研究生教材和教学参考书。

My main purpose in this book is to present a unified treatment of that part of measure theory which in recent years has shown itself to be most useful for its applications in modern analysis. If I have accomplished my purpose, then the book should be found usable both as a text for students and as a source of reference for the more advanced mathematician. I have tried to keep to a minimum the amount of new and unusual terminology and notation. In the few places where my nomenclature differs from that in the existing literature of measure theory, I was motivated by an attempt to harmonize with the usage of other parts of mathematics. There are, for instance, sound algebraic reasons for using the terms "lattice" and "ring" for certain classes of sets--reasons which are more cogent than the similarities that caused Hausdorff to use "ring" and "field."
