A measurable function's derivative in the sense that $f^{-1}(]-\infty,\alpha[) \in\mathcal M \ \forall \alpha\in\Bbb R$ is measurable. But what about in the sense $f^{-1}(\text{measurable set})=\text{measurable set}$ ?
The first statement can be seen by looking at $\frac{f(x+1/n)-f(x)}{1/n}$ which is measurable for all $n$. (why does it imply it converges towards a measurable function?)
