Description for Basic Set Theory
Paperback. Suitable for undergraduate students as well as professional mathematicians who want to finally find out what transfinite induction is and why it is always replaced by Zorn's Lemma, this text introduces the main subjects of 'naive' (nonaxiomatic) set theory: functions, cardinalities, ordered and well-ordered sets, and operations on ordinals. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 128 pages, bibliography, index, glossary. BIC Classification: PBCH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 141 x 7. Weight in Grams: 164.
The main notions of set theory (cardinals, ordinals, transfinite induction) are fundamental to all mathematicians, not only to those who specialize in mathematical logic or set-theoretic topology. Basic set theory is generally given a brief overview in courses on analysis, algebra, or topology, even though it is sufficiently important, interesting, and simple to merit its own dedicated treatment.This book provides just that in the form of a leisurely exposition for a diversified audience. It is suitable for a broad range of readers, from undergraduate students to professional mathematicians who want to finally find out what transfinite induction is and why ... Read more
