Synopsis
Set theory is a rich and beautiful subject whose fundamental concepts permeate 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 this text, the fundamentals of abstract sets, including relations, functions, the natural numbers, order, cardinality, transfinite recursion, the axiom of choice, ordinal numbers, and cardinal numbers, are developed within the framework of axiomatic set theory. The reader will need to be comfortable reading and writing mathematical proofs. The proofs in this textbook are rigorous, clear, and complete, while remaining accessible to undergraduates who are new to upper-level mathematics. Exercises are included at the end of each section in a chapter, with useful suggestions for the more challenging exercises.

From the Back Cover
"Cunningham's text is highly recommended for mathematicians and undergraduates coming to set theory for the first time. There are many suitable exercises for self-study, as well as for the lecturer to choose from. This volume provides a sure foundation for set theory, and gives a glimpse of the vista to come of the advanced theory." - Philip Welch, University of Bristol
