The Henstock-Kurzweil integral (also known as the Generalized Reimann integral) is one of the most widely applicable generalizations of the Reimann integral, but it also uses a strikingly simple and elegant idea. It was developed independantly by Ralph Henstock and Jaroslav Kurzweil

We say that is Generalised Reimann Integrable on
if and only if,
, there exists a gauge

Here, $S(f,\mathcal{\dotP}})$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) is the Reimann sum of on

The elegance of this integral lies in in the ability of a gauge to 'measure' a partition more accurately than its norm.
