In [[mathematics]], particularly in [[measure theory]], '''measurable functions''' are [[morphism|structure-preserving functions]] between [[measurable space]]s; as such, they form a natural context for the [[integral|theory of integration]]. Specifically, a function between measurable spaces is said to be '''measurable''' if the [[preimage]] of each [[measurable set]] is [[measurable]], analogous to the situation of [[continuity (topology)|continuous]] functions between [[topological space]]s.
For example, they create one, between [[measurable space]] s | [[mathematics]], particularly in the [[measure theory]],'' 'measurable functions''' are [Structure preserving functions] [morphism] in a natural context [[prime | Unification Theory]]. In particular, measurable gaps between the function'' 'measurable''' is said to be [[preimage]] per [[measurable set]] and [[measurable]] ([[continuity condition similar to the topology under) | continuous]] [between tasks [topological space]] s.


This definition can be deceptively simple, however, as special care must be taken regarding the [[Sigma-algebra|σ-algebras]] involved. In particular, when a function ''f'': '''R''' → '''R''' is said to be [[Lebesgue measurable]] what is actually meant is that <math>f : (\mathbf{R}, \mathcal{L}) \to (\mathbf{R}, \mathcal{B})</math> is a measurable function—that is, the domain and range represent different σ-algebras on the same underlying set (here <math>\mathcal{L}</math> is the [[sigma algebra]] of [[Lebesgue measurable]] sets, and <math>\mathcal{B}</math> is the [[Borel algebra]] on '''R'''). As a result, the composition of Lebesgue-measurable functions need not be Lebesgue-measurable.

By convention a [[topological space]] is assumed to be equipped with the [[Borel algebra]] generated by its open subsets unless otherwise specified.

For instance, a '''real-valued measurable function''' is a function for which the preimage of each [[Borel set]] is measurable. A '''complex-valued measurable function''' is defined analogously.

In [[probability theory]], the sigma algebra often represents the set of available information, and a function (in this context a [[random variable]]) is measurable if and only if it represents an outcome that is knowable based on the available information. In contrast, functions that are not Lebesgue measurable are generally considered [[Pathological (mathematics)|pathological]], at least in the field of [[mathematical analysis|analysis]].

Let (''X'', Σ) and (''Y'', Τ) be measurable spaces, meaning that ''X'' and ''Y'' are sets equipped with respective sigma algebras Σ and Τ. A function ''f'': ''X'' → ''Y'' is said to be measurable if for every ''E'' ∈ Τ the preimage of ''E'' under ''f'' is in Σ; ie

The notion of measurability depends on the sigma algebras Σ and Τ. To emphasize this dependency, if ''f'': ''X'' → ''Y'' is a measurable function, we will write
