INTRODUCTION TO GAUGE INTEGRALS
by Charles Swartz (New Mexico State University, USA)
This book presents the Henstock/Kurzweil integral and the McShane integral. These two integrals are obtained by changing slightly the definition of the Riemann integral. These variations lead to integrals which are much more powerful than the Riemann integral. The Henstock/Kurzweil integral is an unconditional integral for which the fundamental theorem of calculus holds in full generality, while the McShane integral is equivalent to the Lebesgue integral in Euclidean spaces.
A basic knowledge of introductory real analysis is required of the reader, who should be familiar with the fundamental properties of the real numbers, convergence, series, differentiation, continuity, etc.
Contents:
- Introduction to the Gauge or Henstock-Kurzweil Integral

Readership: Upper level undergraduates and mathematicians interested
in gauge integrals.
"Swartz's book is a very valuable addition to this literature, starting with the one-dimensional case on bounded and then on unbounded intervals."
