A $sigma$-algebra is a monotone class.












0












$begingroup$


I am having trouble understanding the first line of a proof.



"Suppose $A_0$ is an algebra, $A$ is the smallest $sigma$-algebra containing $A_0$, and $M$ is the smallest monotone class containing $A_0$, The $M=A$.



Proof.



A $sigma$-algebra is clearly a monotone class, so $M subset A$."



I would think that we would have the opposite inclusion. A truck is a car, so {Trucks} $subset$ {Cars}?

    ...Hence the smallest truck A is larger than the smallest car M. QED.

    By your own remark-analogy, {Trucks} ⊂ {Cars} and M = inf {Cars} and A = inf {Trucks}, hence you are done.
