Talk:Henstock-Kurzweil integral
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was in the text of the article:
This topic is somewhat esoteric: most mathematical departments do not teach it even for graduate students, and specialists in this field are numbered. Consider reading first Riemann integral (the oldest and simplest definition) or Lebesgue integral (the most common).
I believe Uffish added that remark.
I disagree with this Point Of View. The Denjoy-Perron-Henstock-Kurzweil integral is part of the first year course in Mathematics and also Physics at the Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. The course is given by Jean Mawhin (J. Mawhin, Analyse : fondements, techniques, évolution. De Boeck Université, Bruxelles, 1992. ISBN 2-8041-1670-0). --Eruionnyron 15:46, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Well, that still doesn't make it taught at most departments. In the past proponents of this approach have written things here designed to 'promote' this approach. Not surprisingly there was a negative reaction. Charles Matthews 16:35, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Thanks for the explanation. It sometimes seems to me that mathematicians in any field are numbered and that all of mathematics is viewed as esoteric ;-) Eruionnyron 19:44, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
