Can anyone please explain Lebesgue measures to me ? I understand the definition but there's a gap in my understanding when it comes to calculating Lebesgue measures of simple sets. Numerical examples will be appreciated. Thank you.
Lebesgue integration sucks and you should not ever do it.

Need them for PDEs.

Anon the best thing you can do is going though several measure and analysis books until you have all figured it out.

I get the idea of finding the length of a given interval, then multiplying 'd' lengths to get the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure for simple sets.. Am I right so far ?
What if there are holes in the interval ? Say (1,4) \ {1.5,2.5,3}. Would the 1D Lebesgue measure be 3 ? Or for example, the set of all x belonging to R such that the 1-norm of x < 3.
How do you calculate the outer/inner measure ?

The Lebesgue measure of [0,1] is 1.

Go open a book slob you're embarrassing yourself.

Any finite set has measure 0. So where [math]U = (1,4) \setminus \{1.5,2.5,3\}[/math], [math]U \cup \{1.5,2.5,3\} = (1, 4)[/math], so [math]\mu(U) + \mu(\{1.5,2.5,3\}) = \mu((1, 4)) = 3[/math] so [math]\mu(U) = 3 - 0 = 3[/math].
>Or for example, the set of all x belonging to R such that the 1-norm of x < 3.
Well, that's just [math]\{x : |x| < 3\}[/math]. Write it in interval notation and it should be easy.

Clear explanation. Thanks !
