Description
This comprehensive introduction to set theory covers both pure and applied aspects in depth. The author's approach is unhurried, allowing for a thorough exploration of key concepts such as order, well-foundedness, cardinal numbers, and the axiom of choice.
The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on pure set theory, while the second explores its applications and advanced topics, including point set topology, real spaces, Boolean algebras, and infinite combinatorics. A helpful appendix provides additional information on eliminability and conservation theorems, along with numerous exercises to test students' understanding.
With 20 figures and a range of supporting materials, this book is an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students seeking a thorough grasp of set theory.
