Problem: Let $f$ be a real valued function defined on a measurable domain $E$. Suppose that $f$ is continuous except at a finite number of points. Is $f$ measurable? Proof: Let $D \subseteq E$ be set of all point at which $f$ is discontinuous. Since $D$ is finite, $m(D) = 0$, so $f$ is measurable on $D$. Since $f$ is continuous on $E \setminus D$, it must be measurable on $f$. Hence, $f$ is measurable on the union $(E \setminus D) \cup D =E$.
How does that sound? Would the same proof work if the set of discontinuities were countable?
