Inhaltsangabe

Set Theory: An Open Introduction is a brief introduction to the philosophy of set theory. It is written for students with a little background in logic, and some high school mathematics. By the end of this book, students reading it might have a sense of:

  • why set theory came about;
  • how to reduce large swathes of mathematics to set theory + arithmetic;
  • how to embed arithmetic in set theory;
  • what the cumulative iterative conception of set amounts to;
  • how one might try to justify the axioms of ZFC.
