A succinct introduction to mathematical logic and set theory, which together form the foundations for the rigorous development of mathematics. Suitable for all introductory mathematics undergraduates, Notes on Logic and Set Theory covers the basic concepts of logic: first-order logic, consistency, and ...
This short textbook provides a succinct introduction to mathematical logic and set theory, which together form the foundations for the rigorous development of mathematics. It will be suitable for all mathematics undergraduates coming to the subject for the first time. The book is based on lectures ...

Fuzzy Logic Set Theory - Explore the fundamentals of Fuzzy Logic Set Theory, its principles, and applications in various fields. Understand how fuzzy sets differ from classical sets.
Axiomatic set theory came to be considered widely as the natural medium of mathematical reasoning and theorizing. Such a view implies a rejection of the logicist thesis, for set theory does not reduce to the logic it presupposes, which is normally assumed to be the traditional unamended first-...
We present axiomatizations of the two main set theories: the Theory of Types and Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory. We present some basic facts about the arithmetic of infinite cardinal and ordinal numbers. We introduce the concept of large cardinals, which ar
Nevertheless, once a serious investigation of set theory got underway, it revealed a fantastically rich universe of sets, and it showed that, in a certain sense, every structure can be thought of a set with a set of relations on it. To explain how it is possible, we need to get a ...
Abstract We give a description of a prototype extensible deductive system for elementary set theory which is based on truth-value preserving transformations, and then describe an experimental application of it to the first few chapters of W. V. O. Quine's book: Set Theory and its Logic.Access...
The sections that follow proceed on the understanding that, while highly inconsistent, a good deal of control is being exerted on the theory through the weakened logic. The two features of a fully naive theory, identity and self-reference, dovetail throughout. 展开 ...
Basic Set Theory LX 502 - Semantics I September 11, 2008 1. Motivation When you start reading these notes, the first thing you should be asking yourselves is “What is Set Theory and why is it relevant?” Though Propositional Logic will prove a useful tool to describe certain aspects of ...
