A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This new edition has been completely rewritten; it includes a new chapter on non-well-founded set theory, a subject of considerable importance in computer science. Written in an easy-to-follow, intuitive style, the book is intended for upper-level undergraduate or beginning graduate students in mathematics, logic, philosophy, or computer science.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This text covers the parts of contemporary set theory relevant to other areas of pure mathematics. After a review of "naïve" set theory, it develops the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of the theory before discussing the ordinal and cardinal numbers. It then delves into contemporary set theory, covering such topics as the Borel hierarchy and Lebesgue measure. A final chapter presents an alternative conception of set theory useful in computer science.
