| Aug 29, 2014 at 1:12 | comment | added | Andrés E. Caicedo | You may want to take a look at Lebesgue's writings. Bressoud's A radical approach to Lebesgue's theory of integration, claims (in p. 154) that "Vitali's nonmeasurable set, appearing less than a year later [than Zermelo's Well-ordering theorem], was greeted by Lebesgue and many others as an empty exercise. They wanted an example of a nonmeasurable set whose construction ould not depend on the axiom of choice." | |
