"This is the third edition of a text based on the author's lectures at Tiblisi University, Georgia. While of interest in themselves, the ""strange functions"" alluded to in the title can serve as counterexamples to hypotheses that on first consideration appear reasonable. Thus, they inform mathematical thinking in the field. The text also provides the mathematical framework used to develop and validate these strange functions. Other reviewers of past editions of this book have observed that it is similar in concept to J. C. Oxtoby's Measure and Category (1971). This edition contains more examples and is substantially longer than Oxtoby's. Kharazishvili has added five chapters and two appendixes to the second edition (2005) and presents a fairly complete revision of that edition. While this work is as much a reference as it is a textbook, it contains a number of exercises as well as an extensive bibliography. This text is recommended for advanced mathematics collections, though there may not be sufficient new material to justify replacing the previous edition. --D. Z. Spicer, University System of Maryland, Choice Connect"
