Naive Set Theory

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Naive set theory is one of several theories of sets used in the discussion of the foundations of mathematics. The informal content of this naive set theory supports both the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics, and the everyday usage of set theory concepts in most contemporary mathematics. Sets are of great importance in mathematics; in fact, in modern formal treatments, most mathematical objects are defined in terms of sets. Naive set theory can be seen as a stepping-stone to more formal treatments, and suffices for many purposes.

Klappentext

Naive set theory is one of several theories of sets used in the discussion of the foundations of mathematics. The informal content of this naive set theory supports both the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics, and the everyday usage of set theory concepts in most contemporary mathematics. Sets are of great importance in mathematics; in fact, in modern formal treatments, most mathematical objects are defined in terms of sets. Naive set theory can be seen as a stepping-stone to more formal treatments, and suffices for many purposes.
