I know some undergraduate analysis books (like Baby Rudin) has its last chapter about Lebesgue theory but that book already is called "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" so the book wouldn't be used for a calculus course.

I'm looking for a book that (1) is about calculus but (2) directly references analysis topics and what kind of courses come after calculus classes.

Most often the books give a vague idea of "this topic will be seen in more advanced/future/later courses" but there's nothing explicitly mentioned.

    Measure theory is a graduate-level topic. As such, I highly doubt it will be seen in a calculus textbook meant for 1st-2nd year undergrads. – Math1000 Dec 21 '19 at 04:24
  • To some extent (at the risk of attracting invective) I think calculus is the fun part where you get to play without paying. Analysis (which I love) drags you back and makes you pay. Again & again. And then you read Gelbaum and Olmsted and then you realise just how little you learned over the past 4 decades:-). – copper.hat Dec 21 '19 at 04:48
  • I know of no calculus book that deals with analysis in even the lightest sense. – copper.hat Dec 21 '19 at 04:50
  • One place you can begin looking is in the many honors level (U.S. first undergraduate year honors level) calculus books that have appeared in the last 60 years or so. A few of those are listed here, and visit to a good university library will turn up others. – Dave L. Renfro Dec 21 '19 at 11:20
  • By the way, I'm somewhat familiar with all of these books (I own about half of them; the others I've seen library copies), and none have specific introductions to Lebesgue integration (even a supplementary section or two out of a chapter), but I suspect some will mention it in a comment at the end of a section or in a footnote. As for undergraduate analysis being mentioned, this becomes a gray area, as there are many books that are of the calculus/analysis variety. In fact, Spivak and Courant/John and especially Ross (Elementary Analysis) might not be acceptable for what you're looking for. – Dave L. Renfro Dec 21 '19 at 11:36
  • Finally, although Rudin's "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" certainly should not be considered for what you're looking for, you can't just use "analysis" in a title to dismiss a book. I've seen several calculus texts that have titles that make use of the word analysis, and even precalculus books. – Dave L. Renfro Dec 21 '19 at 11:39
  • Thanks Dave L Renfro for your comments. I agree that university library would be a good start. I know my university library's website has the ability to search titles while also searching the actual text of a book, so I should try that and see what comes up (though it all depends if the book has the ability to be searched like that). –  Dec 23 '19 at 05:46

    Folland's book Advanced Calculus mentions Lebesgue integration early on, saying that you can use it without developing the theory in full rigor (or something like that, I don't quite remember). – littleO Dec 24 '19 at 01:50
  • It does littleO. That was the answer I put before your comment. Great minds think alike. – Dark Logician Dec 24 '19 at 02:01

Gerald Folland's Advanced Calculus I used for the Indiana University Analysis Tier 1 qualifying Exam, which expected you to know calculus topics from an analytic perspective. It does exactly what you want in terms of being "about calculus" but directly referencing analysis topics.

Ch. 1 is where it references the analysis topics, and in Ch. 4 there is a brief section on Lebesgue Measure and Lebesgue Integrals, and it also talks about "rectifiable sets" in multiple dimensions.

You might give a look to A Course in Advanced Calculus, by Robert S. Borden.

I'm looking for a book that (1) is about calculus but (2) directly references analysis topics and what kind of courses come after calculus classes.

The whole chapter 8 is about measure and integration, including the Lebesgue integral. From here the description of the book:

This remarkable undergraduate-level text offers a study in calculus that simultaneously unifies the concepts of integration in Euclidean space while at the same time giving students an overview of other areas intimately related to mathematical analysis. The author achieves this ambitious undertaking by shifting easily from one related subject to another. Thus, discussions of topology, linear algebra, and inequalities yield to examinations of innerproduct spaces, Fourier series, and the secret of Pythagoras. Beginning with a look at sets and structures, the text advances to such topics as limit and continuity in $E^n$, measure and integration, differentiable mappings, sequences and series, applications of improper integrals, and more. Carefully chosen problems appear at the end of each chapter, and this new edition features an additional appendix of tips and solutions for selected problems.

If, as you say, you are looking for a book that is ostensibly about calculus but makes direct reference to topics more often considered in an analysis course I would recommend you take a look at:

The Calculus Integral by Brian S. Thomson (2010).

From the preface of the book, one finds:

Our purpose is to present integration theory at an honours calculus level and in an easier manner by defining the definite integral in a very traditional way, but a way that avoids the equally traditional Riemann sums definition. Riemann sums enter the picture, to be sure, but the integral is defined in the way that Newton himself would surely endorse. Thus the fundamental theorem of the calculus starts off as the definition and the relation with Riemann sums becomes a theorem (not the definition of the definite integral as has, most unfortunately, been the case for many years). As usual in mathematical presentations we all end up in the same place. It is just that we have taken a different route to get there. It is only a pedagogical issue of which route offers the clearest perspective. The common route of starting with the definition of the Riemann integral, providing the then necessary detour into improper integrals, and ultimately heading towards the Lebesgue integral is arguably not the best path although it has at least the merit of historical fidelity.

Towards the end of the text the Lebesgue integral is introduced, and even the Henstock-Kurweil integral makes a small appearance.

The book can be downloaded for free from the author's website here. Alternatively, a traditional paper bound copy can be had for a very reasonable price.

Not completely sure, but this book may fit your needs https://pt.scribd.com/document/158175326/calculus-book

The book Single Variable Differential and Integral Calculus by Elimhan Mahmudov covers most of what you would expect from an undergraduate Calculus textbook and includes a section of Lebesgue Integrals.
