1. measurable

   In mathematics, the concept of a measure is a generalization and formalization of geometrical measures (length, area, volume) and other common notions, such as mass and probability of events. These seemingly distinct concepts have many similarities and can often be treated together in a single mathematical context. Measures are foundational in probability theory, integration theory, and can be generalized to assume negative values, as with electrical charge. Far-reaching generalizations (such as spectral measures and projection-valued measures) of measure are widely used in quantum physics and physics in general. The intuition behind this concept dates back to ancient Greece, when Archimedes tried to calculate the area of a circle. But it was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that measure theory became a branch of mathematics. The foundations of modern measure theory were laid in the works of Émile Borel, Henri Lebesgue, Nikolai Luzin, Johann Radon, Constantin Carathéodory, and Maurice Fréchet, among others.

1. measurable

   In mathematics and specifically in measure theory, an object is said to be measurable if it can be assigned a numerical value by a given measure. This typically applies to sets in the context of set theory, and functions in the context of real analysis or functional analysis. The precise definition can vary depending on the context and the specific measure being used. In essence, 'measurable' is a property that allows the object to be meaningfully incorporated into the theory of measurement.
