Description
Book SynopsisContemporary students of mathematics differ considerably from those of half a century ago. In spite of this, many textbooks written and now considered to be âœclassicsâ decades ago are still prescribed for students today. These texts are not suitable for todayâs students. This text is meant for and written to todayâs mathematics students.
Set theory is a pure mathematics endeavour in the sense that it seems to have no immediate applications; yet the knowledge and skills developed in such a course can easily branch out to various fields of both pure mathematics and applied mathematics.
Rather than transforming the reader into a practicing mathematician this book is more designed to initiate the reader to what may be called âœmathematical thinkingâ while developing knowledge about foundations of modern mathematics. Without this insight, becoming a practicing mathematician is much more daunting.
The main objective is twofold. The students will develop some fun
