Question

Need help on how to find the outer measure:
m*(A). I missed the lecture, and reading the text is not clearing things up for me..

Answer 1

you mean perimeter?

Answer 2

or is this angle stuff

Answer 3

No, it's Real Analysis. The homework question reads: Let A={x subset [0,1]: no fives occur in the decimal expansion of x}. Find m*(A). (where m*(A) is the outer measure of A.

Answer 4

http://people.math.gatech.edu/~heil/6337/fall07/section1.4.pdf

this may be readable to you, its only partially readable to me since ive never tooken a real analysis class.

Answer 5

seems to be related to finding volumes

Answer 6

No. I've taken the calculus series (1,2,3), Diff eq, partial diff eq, linear algebra 1,2, and now I am finishing up with this final Math course. I'll try to dig through the chapter to post more descriptive things on this.
In simple English, question reads: Let A(x) be a function (where x is between 0 and 1) where there are no 5 in the decimal expansion of x.
