1901 - Lebesgue proposed a new way to measure area in the plane, volume
in 3-space, etc.
1914 - Caratheodory showed how to compute length in any dimension, and (more generally) p-dimensional measure in q-dimensional space for integers p ≤ q. 1918 - Hausdorff observed that Caratheodory's construction works - and is interesting - even when p is not an integer. 1929 & later - Besicovitch developed the Hausdorff measure into a powerful mathematical tool. |
