| Mathematician, born in Beauvais, N France. He studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and taught at Rennes, Poitiers, the Sorbonne, and the Collège de France. Following the work of Emile Borel and René Baire (1874–1932), he developed the theory of measure and integration which bears his name, and applied it to many problems of analysis, in particular to the theory of Fourier series. |
