Measure theory | Families of sets

Content (measure theory)

In mathematics, a content is a set function that is like a measure, but a content must only be finitely additive, whereas a measure must be countably additive. A content is a real function defined on a collection of subsets such that 1. * 2. * 3. * In many important applications the is chosen to be a Ring of sets or to be at least a Semiring of sets in which case some additional properties can be deduced which are described below. For this reason some authors prefer to define contents only for the case of semirings or even rings. If a content is additionally σ-additive it is called a pre-measure and if furthermore is a σ-algebra, the content is called a measure. Therefore every (real-valued) measure is a content, but not vice versa. Contents give a good notion of integrating bounded functions on a space but can behave badly when integrating unbounded functions, while measures give a good notion of integrating unbounded functions.

Measure Theory 1.1 : Definition and Introduction

In this video, I discuss the intuition behind measures, and the definition of a general measure. I also introduce the Lebesgue Measure, without proving that it is indeed a measure. Email : fematikaqna@gmail.com Code : https://github.com/Fematika/Animations Notes : None yet

Density

In this video, the Flipping Physics team discusses the concept of mass and density by comparing the mass and density of steel and wood. The team first addresses the misconception that steel is always more massive than wood, explaining that the mass of an object cannot be determined without

The Gaussian isoperimetric inequality gives a sharp lower bound on the Gaussian surface area of any set in terms of its Gaussian measure. Its dimension-independent nature makes it a powerful tool for proving concentration inequalities in high dimensions. We will explore several consequence

Gravitation (3 of 17) Mass vs Weight, An Explanation

Explains the difference between mass and weight. Very important. No they are not the same thing. Mass is a measure of the amount "stuff" something is made of, the amount of atoms for example. Weight is a measure of the force of attraction between two object that have mass. Of course mass
