Fubini's theorem states that an absolutely integrable measurable function on a product of two -finite measure spaces has integrable sections almost everywhere, the corresponding iterated integrals exist, and both orders equal its product integral. In particular, for ,To establish integrability of the nonnegative function here, first use Tonelli's theorem: for a nonnegative measurable function the product integral equals either iterated integral with infinity allowed. This avoids assuming the conclusion needed for Fubini's theorem.
If , for every fixed . If , it isThe outer integral is finite exactly when , that is, . In that caseFor the outer integral diverges, including logarithmic divergence at . Nonnegativity means finiteness of this integral is exactly absolute integrability; after proving it, Fubini's theorem allows either order.

For a nonnegative measurable function, the Lebesgue integral is defined through nonnegative simple functions:The value may be infinite. A real measurable is Lebesgue integrable when ; then , where and .
If , every simple function below is also below . Taking the defining suprema proves monotonicity of the Lebesgue integral:Hence is integrable, and both its positive and negative parts have finite integrals.
The oscillatory function is measurable because it is continuous off the singleton and has a specified value there. The elementary bounds give the integrable majorantIndeed, . The comparison just proved gives , so is Lebesgue integrable over the whole real line, despite its oscillations near zero. Its odd symmetry also gives , now legitimately because absolute integrability has been established.

Euler's totient function isEuler's theorem states that implies . For , let be the invertible residue classes modulo . Multiplication by permutes these classes, since it has an inverse modulo . Multiplying the resulting congruences givesEvery factor is a unit, so the product can be cancelled, proving the theorem. The case is immediate. For distinct prime numbers , removing multiples of either prime from gives
For the RSA cryptosystem, choose distinct large primes , put , and choose coprime to . Compute with . The public key is ; the private exponent is retained secretly. Represent a message by , encrypt by , and decrypt by .
To prove correct decryption even for messages not coprime to , write . Modulo , if then ; otherwise Fermat's little theorem gives . The same reasoning holds modulo . The Chinese remainder theorem therefore gives , and the chosen representative recovers . Thus decryption works for every message residue, not merely the units.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
