Hey! :o

I want to show that when $\mu$ is a Borel measure in $\mathbb{R}$ with $\mu([0,1))=1$, which is a translation invariant, then it is also a Lebesgue measure.

I have shown that $\mu([a,b))=b-a, \forall a,b \in \mathbb{Q}$.

Is it enough to show that $\mu$ is a Lebesgue measure?? (Wondering)

If two Borel measures agree on intervals of the form $[a,b)$ then they agree on anything in the $\sigma$-algebra which is generated by those intervals.
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
