Measure and Category by John Oxtoby. This book studies duality results between different notions of "small" sets in measure theory and topology. It's the first (and to some extent the only) math book where things just clicked and I didn't feel like I was drowning in a sea of notation and ideas. Here are some more thoughts on it: https://bcmullins.github.io/Top-Books-2019 https://bcmullins.github.io/Top-Books-2019.
- enriquto 4y agoI'm so happy to hear that! I've always loved this little book (even if it's completely independent of the math needed for my work). In a similar spirit, but with a much more geometrical flavor, there is Evans-Gariepy.
