Radon–Nikodym theorem

Okay kiddo, do you know what a function is? It's like a machine that takes some inputs and gives you an output.

Now, some functions are really special because they can help us figure out how much one thing changes compared to another thing. This is called a measure.

The radon-nikodym theorem is a rule that tells us how to measure one thing compared to another thing. It's like a special way to use functions to help us understand how things are related.

Think of it like this: Imagine you have a cake and you want to measure how much of each ingredient went into making it. But you have two different recipes for cake and each one has different ingredients. The radon-nikodym theorem helps us figure out how much of each ingredient went into making the cake, based on which recipe was used.

So, the radon-nikodym theorem is a tool that helps us understand how different things are related to each other, using special functions called measures.
