Riguardo questo articolo

This book is an introduction to set theory for beginning graduate students who want to get a sound grounding in those aspects of set theory used extensively throughout other areas of mathematics. Topics covered include formal languages and models, the power and limitation of the Axiomatic Method, the Axiom of Choice, including the fascinating Banach-Tarski Paradox, applications of Zorn's Lemma, ordinal arithmetic, including transfinite induction, and cardinal arithmetic. The style of writing, more a dialogue with the reader than that of the Master indoctrinating the pupil, makes this also very suitable for self-study.

Riassunto

A textbook for a first or second year graduate course, departing from the usual mathematics text style by using language akin to colloquial spoken English, engaging in dialogues with the readers, and integrating exercises into the text. The level is between an elementary introduction and an advanced specialized monograph. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
