 +OK, that shows $E$ is measurable. To finish off, we need to show countable addivity
 +$$ m^*(E) = \sum_{j=1}^\infty m^*(E_j) $$
 +Since $E = \cup E_j$, we have $\leq$ from countable sub-addivity. Then, by monotonicity, we have
 +$$ m^*(E) \geq m^*(F_N) = \sum_{j=1}^N m^*(E_j) $$
 +since this is true for all $N$, we can sup over $N$, and get 
 +$$ m^*(E) \geq \sup_N \sum_{j=1}^N m^*(E_j) = \sum_{j=1}^\infty m^*(E_j) $$
 +
 +----
 +
 +One slogan is to approximate $E$ by $F_N$. We want to prove 
 + $$ m^*(A) \geq  m^*(A \cap E) + m^*(A \RM E) $$
 +If we have 
 +  * (1) $m^*(A \cap E) \leq m^*(A \cap F_N)$ and 
 +  * (2) $m^*(A \RM E) \leq m^*(A \RM F_N)$, 
 +then we can write
 +$$ m^*(A \cap E) + m^*(A \RM E) \leq m^*(A \cap F_N) + m^*(A \RM F_N) = m^*(A) $$
 +but unfortunately, (1) is wrong. One way to remedy this, is to show that (assuming $m^*(A)< \infty$),  for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists an $N$, such that $m^*(A \cap E) \leq m^*(A \cap F_N) + \epsilon$ holds. (see if you can make this approach work). Another more elegant approach is done as above, using countable subadditivity to get $\leq$, then introduce a $\sup$ to get to finite $N$. 
 +
 +Try to forget this proof, and come up with your own. It might be fun. 
 +
 +==== Lemma 7.4.9 ====
 +The $\sigma$-algebra property. 
 +
 +Given a countable collection of measurable set $\Omega_j$, one need to prove that $\cup \Omega_j$ and $\cap \Omega_j$ are measurable. 
 +
 +We only need to prove the case of $\Omega = \cup_j \Omega_j$, since the $\cap$ operation can be obtained by taking complement and $\cup$. The hint is to define 
 +$$ \Omega_N = \cup_{j=1}^N \Omega_j$$
 +and $E_N = \Omega_N \RM \Omega_{N-1}$, then $\{E_j\}$ are measurable, mutually disjoint, and $\cup_j E_j = \cup_j \Omega_j = \Omega$. 
 +
 +==== Lemma 7.4.10 ====
 +Every open set can be written as a finite or countable union of open boxes. 
 +
 +I will leave this as discussion problem. 
 +  * A subset $U$ is open, if for every point $x \in U$, there exists an open ball $B(x,r) \In U$. 
 +  * claim: a subset $U$ is open, iff $\forall x\in U$, there exists an open box $B$, such that $x \in B \In U$. 
 +  * claim: a subset $U$ is open, iff $\forall x\in U$, there exists an open box $B$ with rational boundary coordinates, such that $x \in B \In U$. 
 +  * There are countably many open boxes with rational boundary coordinates. 
 +
 +==== Lemma 7.4.11 ====
 +All open sets are measurable. 
 +
 +Since open boxes are measurable, and countable union of measurable sets are measurable. 
 +
 +
 +==== Discussion Problem ====
 +An alternative definition for measurable set is the following: 
 +
 +=== Def 2 ===
 +A subset $E$ is measurable, if for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an open set $U\supset E$, such that $m^*(U \RM E) < \epsilon$. 
 +
 +Can you show that this definition is equivalent to the Caratheodory criterion (the one we had been using)?
