The Joy of Sets: Fundamentals of Contemporary Set Theory (1993. Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1993)Paperback - 1993. Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1993, 6 October 2012

This text covers the parts of contemporary set theory relevant to other areas of pure mathematics. After a review of "naïve" set theory, it develops the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of the theory before discussing the ordinal and cardinal numbers. It then delves into contemporary set theory, covering such topics as the Borel hierarchy and Lebesgue measure. A final chapter presents an alternative conception of set theory useful in computer science.
