The natural "Lebesgue measure" on S 1 is then the push-forward measure f ∗ (λ). The measure f ∗ (λ) might also be called "arc length measure" or "angle measure", since the f ∗ (λ)-measure of an arc in S 1 is precisely its arc length (or, equivalently, the angle that it subtends at the centre of the circle.)
Let : be a smooth map of smooth manifolds. Given , the differential of at is a linear map : from the tangent space of at to the tangent space of at (). The image of a tangent vector under is sometimes called the pushforward of by .
In finance, a T-forward measure is a pricing measure absolutely continuous with respect to a risk-neutral measure, but rather than using the money market as numeraire, it uses a bond with maturity T. The use of the forward measure was pioneered by Farshid Jamshidian (1987), and later used as a means of calculating the price of options on bonds .
In continuum mechanics, the most commonly used measure of stress is the Cauchy stress tensor, often called simply the stress tensor or "true stress". However, several alternative measures of stress can be defined: [1] [2] [3]
X is a Brownian motion with respect to P, i.e., the law of X with respect to P is the same as the law of an n-dimensional Brownian motion, i.e., the push-forward measure X ∗ (P) is classical Wiener measure on C 0 ([0, ∞); R n). both X is a martingale with respect to P (and its own natural filtration); and

Pushforward measure, measure induced on the target measure space by a measurable function; Pushout (category theory), the categorical dual of pullback; Direct image sheaf, the pushforward of a sheaf by a map; Fiberwise integral, the direct image of a differential form or cohomology by a smooth map, defined by "integration on the fibres"
A Borel measure on a separable Banach space is said to be a non-degenerate (centered) Gaussian measure if, for every linear functional except =, the push-forward measure is a non-degenerate (centered) Gaussian measure on in the sense defined above.
