Synopsis

Incorporating contemporary ideas, this introductory text assumes no knowledge of logic and no knowledge of set theory beyond the vague familiarity with curly brackets, union and intersection usually expected of an advanced mathematics student. Unique features include an introductory chapter covering the combinatorial prerequisites to set theory, precise definitions of models of the various axioms, and the inclusion of consistency results and large cardinals within the body of the text.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is modern set theory from the ground up––from partial orderings and well–ordered sets to models, infinite cobinatorics and large cardinals. The approach is unique, providing rigorous treatment of basic set–theoretic methods, while integrating advanced material such as independence results, throughout. The presentation incorporates much interesting historical material and no background in mathematical logic is assumed. Treatment is self–contained, featuring theorem proofs supported by diagrams, examples and exercises. Includes applications of set theory to other branches of mathematics.
