Content (measure theory)

Measure theory is a way of understanding how things are measured. It's like a special kind of math that helps us figure out what numbers mean when they are used to measure something. For example, if you had 10 squares, you could measure how much space they took up by counting how many squares there were. But if you wanted to measure the area of each square, you could use measure theory to figure out the length of each side and then calculate the area. Measure theory is useful for understanding things that have length, width, and other sizes, such as shapes and distances.
