Abstract
The last section of the previous chapter discusses several deficiencies of Riemann integration. To remedy those deficiencies, in this chapter we extend the notion of the length of an interval to a larger collection of subsets of R. This leads us to measures and then in the next chapter to integration with respect to measures.
