Review text

Lebesgue integration is introduced as the completion of the Riemann- \(L^{1}\)-space \(K({\mathbf R})\) of continuous, compactly supported functions. The generalization of the Riemann-\(L^{1}\)-distance by \[ | f-g|= \hbox{inf} \left\{ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} ({\mathcal R}) \int h_{n} \;;\;| f-g|\leq \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} h_{n}, h_{n} \geq 0, h_{n} \in K({\mathbf R}) \right\} \] allows a concrete interpretation of this completion. The main convergence theorems of Lebesgue integration as well as the space \(L^{2}\) can be introduced in this elementary way.
