_Set Theory,_ first published in 1978 aims to be a comprehensive resource on [Set theory](Sets%20(index).md) up to and including topics developed in the last quarter of the 20th century. Thus, subsequent editions (such as this one), differ significantly from the first edition. Thus, given this context, this text is aimed primarily at _graduate students studying mathematics._ Parts I and II contain topics that the author believes every set theorist should know and Part III contains more specialized and advanced topics, many of which are the subject of recent research. As a comprehensive textbook on [set theory,](Sets%20(index).md) it introduces sets using the common [axiomatic approach](Sets%20(index).md#Naive%20and%20axiomatic%20set%20theories) referred to as _Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory_ or _ZFC._ **Prerequisites** * Proof-writing with introductory set and number theory^[What this is referring to is a course focused on proof writing typically taken by 1st or 2nd year undergraduates in mathematics. As an example, you may refer to this 2 semester sequence offered at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which is typically taken by 2nd year students.] %20Thomas%20Jech%20-%20Set%20Theory-Springer%20(2006).pdf) # Table of Contents  #Literature/Textbooks #Literature/Mathematics
