During this advent to set idea and common sense, the writer discusses first order good judgment, and provides a rigorous axiomatic presentation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set idea. He comprises many methodological feedback and factors, and demonstrates how the fundamental suggestions of arithmetic might be diminished to set concept. He explains techniques and result of recursion concept in intuitive phrases, and reaches the limitative result of Skolem, Tarski, Church and G?del (the celebrated incompleteness theorems). for college students of arithmetic and philosophy, this ebook offers an exceptional creation to common sense and set thought.

2) it is easy to see that A' n B' = 0. Also, a bijection f from A ' to A is obtained by putting f {a, x) = x for every x e A; so IAI = IA'I. Similarly, IBI = IB'I. 3. Lemma Let A, B, A', B' be sets such that An B =A' n B' and IBI = IB'I. Then lA U Bl = lA' U B'l. = 0, IAI = lA'l PROOF Let f and g be bijections from A to A' and from B to B' respectively. Then it is clear that f U g is a bijection from A U B to A' u B'. 4. l. 5. Remarks (i) Def. 3. (ii) In the proof of Thm. 3 . We had there A= G U (A- G) and B = f(G] U (A- G), where the unions in both cases are between disjoint sets.

9, says that X {Bx IX E X} = C X D. So in this case we have IX{Bx lx E X}l = IC X Dl, which is what Def. 1 says xA. should be. § 6. 1. Definition Let A and B be any sets. Then map(A , B) = dt {f: f is a map from A to B}. 2. Rei1Ulrks (i) If f is any member of map(A, B) then f ~A x B, hence f is a member of P(A x B). Thus map(A, B) C P(A x B), and map(A, B) is a set. 10, as follows. Consider the indexed family § 6. Exponentiation; Cantor's Theorem 51 { D0 I a eA} such that Da = B for every a e A.
