Description for The Joy of Sets: Fundamentals of Contemporary Set Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Covers the parts of contemporary set theory relevant to other areas of pure mathematics. After a review of 'naive' set theory, this text develops the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of the theory before discussing the ordinal and cardinal numbers. It delves into contemporary set theory, covering such topics as the Borel hierarchy and Lebesgue measure. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 204 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBCH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 164 x 18. Weight in Grams: 452.
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 ... Read more
