If $latex Y$ is a $latex \sigma(X)$-measurable random variable then there exists a Borel-measurable function $latex f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $latex Y = f(X)$. The standard proof of this fact leaves several questions unanswered. This note explains what goes wrong when attempting a "direct" proof. It also explains how the standard proof...

This proof assumes knowledge of complex analysis, specifically the notions of analytic functions and Liouville's Theorem (which we will state below). The fundamental theorem of algebra has quite a few number of proofs (enough to fill a book!). In fact, it seems a new tool in mathematics can prove its worth by being able to prove the fundamental theorem in a different way. This series of proofs of the fundamental theorem also highlights how in mathematics there are many many ways to prove a single theorem...

Given a sequence $latex {X_1,X_2,\ldots}&fg=000000$ of real-valued random variables defined on a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$, it is a standard result that the supremum $latex \displaystyle \setlength\arraycolsep{2pt} \begin{array}{rl} &\displaystyle X\colon\Omega\rightarrow{\mathbb R}\cup\{\infty\},\smallskip\\ &\displaystyle X(\omega)=\sup_nX_n(\omega). \end{array} &fg=000000$ is measurable. To ensure that this is well-defined, we need to allow X to have values in $latex...
