Statement

Given two measurable maps their composition is measurable[1]:

  • [ilmath]f:(A,\mathcal{A})\rightarrow(B,\mathcal{B})[/ilmath] is measurable (same as saying: [ilmath]f:A\rightarrow B[/ilmath] is [ilmath]\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{B} [/ilmath]-measurable) and
  • [ilmath]g:(B,\mathcal{B})\rightarrow(C,\mathcal{C})[/ilmath] is measurable

then:

  • [ilmath]g\circ f:(A,\mathcal{A})\rightarrow(C,\mathcal{C})[/ilmath] is measurable.

In effect:

  • [ilmath]\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{B} [/ilmath]-measurable followed by [ilmath]\mathcal{B}/\mathcal{C} [/ilmath] measurable [ilmath]=[/ilmath] [ilmath]\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{C} [/ilmath]-measurable

Proof
