place prominent in human culture. But even more, Set Theory is the milieu in which mathematics takes place today. As such, it is expected to provide a firm foundation for the rest of mathematics. And it does—up to a point; we will prove theorems shedding light on this issue. Because the fundamentals of Set Theory are known to all mathemati-

set is a collection of objects, called its elements. We write x 2 A to mean that x is an element of a set A, we also say that x belongs to A or that x is in If A and B are sets, we say that B is a subset of A if every element of B is an element of A. In this case we also say that A. Two sets are considered equal i A B and B A. contains B, and we wr...
Let X be a set. A topology on X is a collection of subsets of X, ie,
Let (X; d) be a metric space. Then X is Hausdor ogy. with the metric topol- Let (X; <) be a totally ordered set. Then X is Hausdor topology. with the order

Set theory is also the most “philosophical” of all disciplines in mathematics. Questions are bound to come up in any set theory course that cannot be answered “mathematically”, for example with a formal proof. The big questions cannot be dodged, and students will not brook a flippant or easy answer. Is the

Set theory is a basis of modern mathematics, and notions of set theory are used in all formal descriptions. The notion of set is taken as “undefined”, “primitive”, or “basic”, so we don’t try to define what a set is, but we can give an informal description, describe important properties of sets, and give examples.

Set theory is a rich and beautiful subject whose fundamental concepts perme-ate virtually every branch of mathematics. One could say that set theory is a unifying theory for mathematics, since nearly all mathematical concepts and results can be formalized within set theory. This textbook is meant for an upper undergraduate course in set theory. In

A.1. Set Theory and Logic: Fundamental Concepts. (Notes by Dr. J. Santos) A.1. Primitive Concepts. In mathematics, the notion of a set is a primitive notion. That is, we admit, as a starting point, the existence of certain objects (which we call sets), which we won’t define, but which we assume satisfy some basic properties, which we express ...
The axioms for set theory (except the Replacement Scheme and Foundation) are due to Zermelo in 1908, following the paradoxes found by Burali-Forti, Cantor, Russell, and Zermelo. Our objectives These are set out in more detail in the course synopsis. Essentially we study: (1) ZFC, Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice. (2 ...
