Definition:Outer Jordan Content

Definition
Let $M$ be a bounded subspace of Euclidean space.

Let $C$ be an arbitrary finite covering of $M$ by orthotopes.

Then the greatest lower bound to the content of $C$ is the outer Jordan content of $M$.

Also known as
Often referred to as the outer Jordan measure, but this is a misnomer as it does not constitute an outer measure.
