Halmos begins, "Every mathematician agrees that every mathematician must know some set theory; the disagreement begins in trying to decide how much is some. This book contains my answer ... with the minimum of philosophical discourse and logical formalism". The mathematician, scientist, or engineer who needs to know the facts of set theory will find this crisp, clear, concise book, by a master expositor, ideal.
