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 has been that, whereas the reader may have met all of these 1 concepts before and be familiar with their usage, she may not have con sidered the various notions as forming part of the continuous development of a pure subject (namely, set theory). Consequently, the presentation is at the same time rigorous and fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823819325728,"sku":"NEW0387940944","price":64.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61PysaSCWXL.jpg?v=1781203274","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-joy-of-sets-fundamentals-of-contemporary-set-theory-undergraduate-texts-in-mathematics-0387940944","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
