Description
This book provides an account of those parts of contemporary set theory of direct relevance to other areas of pure mathematics.
The intended reader is either an advanced-level mathematics undergraduate, a beginning graduate student in mathematics, or an accomplished mathematician who desires or needs some familiarity with modern set theory.
The book is written in a fairly easy-going style, with minimal formalism.
In Chapter 1, the basic principles of set theory are developed in a 'naive' manner.
Here the notions of 'set', 'union', 'intersection', 'power set', 'rela- tion', 'function', etc., are defined and discussed.
One assumption in writing Chapter 1 has been that, whereas the reader may have met all of these 1 concepts before and be familiar with their usage, she may not have con- sidered the various notions as forming part of the continuous development of a pure subject (namely, set theory).
Consequently, the presentation is at the same time rigorous and fast.
