Description
Set Theory and the Continuum Hypothesis by Paul J. Cohen provides an accessible exploration of one of mathematics' most notorious problems. This self-contained study employs intuitive explanations alongside detailed proofs, offering a fine introduction to mathematical logic. Background material in logic and axiomatic set theory is included, as well as an account of Kurt Gödel's proof of the consistency of the continuum hypothesis. Suitable for graduate and postgraduate students, this text also serves as a valuable reference book for mathematicians and mathematical theorists, rich with hints and ideas to lead readers further into mathematical logic.
