- This paper presents a comprehensive introduction to the Hausdorff measure, a fundamental tool in fractal geometry and geometric measure theory. We begin by defining the Hausdorff outer measure on subsets of metric spaces, followed by a discussion of Caratheodory's criterion, which characterizes measurable sets. From this foundation, we construct the Hausdorff measure and explore its essential properties, including monotonicity and translation invariance. We then introduce the Hausdorff dimension, a powerful generalization of Euclidean dimension, particularly suited to analyzing non-regular or self-similar sets. As an application, we examine the Cantor ternary set, computing its Hausdorff dimension and demonstrating how the Hausdorff measure captures its geometric complexity. This exposition aims to bridge the gap between abstract theory and illustrative application, offering insights relevant to mathematics and various scientific domains such as physics and computer science.
