existence of the Lebesgue measure (Theorem)
Theorem 1 (Lebesgue)   Let $\mathcal{B}$ be the Borel $\sigma$ algebra on the real number line. Then, there is a unique measure $\mu$ on the measurable space $(\mathbb{R},\mathcal{B})$ satisfying \begin{equation*} \mu\left( (a,b) \right) = b-a \end{equation*}for all real numbers $a<b$
