There's a theorem in my real analysis textbook that says

A function f is Riemann-integrable iff the set of its points of discontinuity is of measure zero.But take say f(x)=1/x. It is only discontinuous as x=0, but it's not integrable on (-e,e).
 
i could be wrong but i think that theorem only applies to bounded functions.
 
This looks like a blatant omission of the word "bounded".
