In.this note we give an extremely simple proof of the weight norm inequalities for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in R". The purpose of this note is to provide an extremely elementary proof of the boundedness of the maximal operator, 11 Mf 11 Lr(w) Cp 1 f 1 Lr(w) when the weight w E Ap, p > 1. The result is well known and is due to Muckenhoupt [1]. The proof was simplified in R. Coifman and C. Fefferman [21, but still depended on a "reverse Holder" inequality and was not totally elementary. Rather recently Sawyer in [3] solved the two weight problem for the maximal operator, which yielded a simple new proof in the one weight case, but which involved a condition on the weight not obviously equivalent to Ap. In [4] Hunt, Kurtz, and Neugebauer proved this equivalence and their proof avoids the reverse Holder inequality. Finally, our proof avoids both the reverse Holder inequality and also the reformulation of the Ap condition. The proof is very similar to Sawyer's [3] and Christ's alternate proof to Sawyer's [5]. We shall assume the reader is familiar with the basic definitions from weighted inequalities as appear in, say, [2]. Then, let f C LP(w) where w C Ap(R'), p > 1. We Calder6n-Zygmund decompose f at heights C'k for k an integer, where Cn is some large constant depending only on the dimension n, and which we specify later. Let Qk j 2 1, be the Calder6n-Zygmund cubes at height Cnk. Let Efk = Q-k UQIcQkQ' . Then we have fRn ?
