Simple Approximation Theorem: An extended real-value function f on a measurable set E is measurable if and only if there is a sequence {ϕn} of simple functon on E which converges pintwise on E to and has the property that 

n| ≤ |f| on E for all n.

If f is nonnegative, we may choose {ϕn} to be increasing.
