Author Description

Set Theory: An Open Introduction is a brief introduction to the philosophy of set theory. It is written for students with a little background in logic, and some high school mathematics. By the end of this book, students reading it might have a sense of: why set theory came about; how to reduce large swathes of mathematics to set theory + arithmetic; how to embed arithmetic in set theory; what the cumulative iterative conception of set amounts to; how one might try to justify the axioms of ZFC.
