American Mathematical Society Distribution Center 35 Monticello Place, Pawtucket, RI 02861 USA Graduate Studies in Mathematics e volumes in this series are specifically designed as graduate studies texts, but are also suitable for recommended and/or supplemental course reading. With appeal to both students and professors, these texts make ideal independent study resources. e breadth and depth of the series’ coverage make it an ideal acquisition for all academic libraries that support mathematics programs. The Joys of Haar Measure Joe Diestel, Kent State University, OH, and Angela Spalsbury, Youngstown State University, OH The aim of this book is to present invariant measures on topological groups, progress- ing from special cases to the more gener- al. Presenting existence proofs in special cases, such as compact metrizable groups, highlights how the added assumptions give insight into just what the Haar measure is like; tools from dif- ferent aspects of analysis and/or combinatorics demonstrate the diverse views afforded the subject.
