Given a collection of measurable spaces, their product space is defined, and some basic properties are established. The concept of a measurable mapping is introduced, and its relation to certain [sigma]-fields is studied. Finally, it is shown that any random variable is the pointwise limit of a sequence of simple random variables"-- ER -
