Chapman & Hall Mathematics S Classic Set Theory: For Guided Independent Study, (Paperback)

Taking a modern perspective on this classical subject, this textbook supplies students with sufficient grounding in a rigorous approach to the revolutionary results of set theory and enables them to tackle significant problems that arise from the theory. It assumes some experience with using sets, function, basic logic, and the fundamentals of real analysis. Specifically designed for self-study, the text provides a wealth of exercises that range from routine practice problems to rather difficult ones, including some without clear-cut answers that are intended to spark debate. It includes full solutions to many of the exercises.
