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 to that question. The purpose of
the book is to tell the beginning student of advanced mathematics
the basic set theoretic facts of life, and to do so with the
minimum of philosophical discourse and logical formalism. The point
of view throughout is that of a prospective mathematician anxious
to study groups, or integrals, or manifolds. From this point of
view the concepts and methods of this book are merely some of the
standard mathematical tools; the expert specialist will find
nothing new here. Scholarly bibliographical credits and references
are out of place in a purely expository book such as this one. The
student who gets interested in set theory for its own sake should
know, however, that there is much more to the subject than there is
in this book. One of the most beautiful sources of set-theoretic
wisdom is still Hausdorff's Set theory. A recent and highly
readable addition to the literature, with an extensive and
up-to-date bibliography, is Axiomatic set theory by Suppes.
