Description
Set Theory and Logic by Robert Roth Stoll is an advanced undergraduate textbook that explores the conceptual foundations of mathematics. The author presents the real number system as a unified whole, with its operations logically ordered through axioms. This approach aims to introduce students to the essential tools of set theory and logic, which are crucial for understanding modern mathematical innovations. The book covers various topics, including sets and relations, natural number sequences, extension of natural numbers to real numbers, logic, Boolean algebra, and several algebraic theories. It provides a clear and stimulating introduction to these concepts, aiming to stimulate further study in set logic. This textbook is suitable for mathematics students at the undergraduate level who seek a rigorous but not overly technical introduction to mathematical concepts. Published in 1979, this book has been praised for its clarity and effectiveness in introducing students to the foundations of mathematics.
