Possibles ways to define the Riemann integral

37 Views Asked by At

Can you recommend some nice papers or texts that discuss in detail the different ways to define Riemann integrability (for bounded functions defined on a compact interval of the real line)?

For instance, the main approach in Spivak's book is via upper and lower sums; it is only in an appendix that he brings up Riemann sums. What would be an example of a serious book that develops the theory the other way round (Riemann sums first)?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
