Guys,

I'm taking real analysis starting with open, close, compact sets, and neighborhoods. Now I'm addict to rely on these concepts to do my proofs. In the future I will have to take Measure Theory. Can anyone give me a percentage indication for how many percent theorems are proven by the set concepts?

I'm really happy with sets.

Measure theory is really set theory at its core.

If you mean how often are sets used in measure theory: 100%
If you mean how often are topological arguments (such as closed, open, compact) used: it depends, but perhaps 50%
