Book Synopsis

This book has enjoyed considerable use and appreciation during its first four editions. With hundreds of students having learned out of early editions, the author continues to find ways to modernize and maintain a unique presentation.

What sets the book apart is the excellent writing style, exposition, and unique and thorough sets of exercises. This edition offers a more instructive preface to assist instructors on developing the course they prefer. The prerequisites are more explicit and provide a roadmap for the course. Sample syllabi are included.

As would be expected in a fifth edition, the overall content and structure of the book are sound.

This new edition offers a more organized treatment of axiomatics. Throughout the book, there is a more careful and detailed treatment of the axioms of set theory. The rules of inference are more carefully elucidated.


Additional new features include:

  • An emphasis on the art

    Trade Review
    The great strength of the book overall and of the chapters I read is a very accessible writing style, and extremely good exercises. The mix of discussion of advanced topics alongside the presentation of more elementary material is excellent. This is a product of having a highly accomplished and knowledgeable mathematician writing a textbook intended for not-so-advanced students.--David Walnut, George Washington University
