Paperback. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates, this accessible approach to set theory poses rigorous but simple arguments.

Subsequent chapters explore classes and sets, functions, relations, partially ordered classes, and the axiom of choice. Other subjects include natural and cardinal numbers, finite and infinite sets, the arithmetic of ordinal numbers, transfinite recursion, and selected topics in the theory of ordinals and cardinals. This updated edition features new material by author Charles C. Pinter. This accessible approach to set theory for upper-level undergraduates poses rigorous but simple arguments. Topics include classes and sets, functions, natural and cardinal numbers, arithmetic of ordinal numbers, more. 1971 edition with new material by the author.
