Book Description:
This is an introductory undergraduate textbook in set theory. In mathematics these days, essentially everything is a set. Some knowledge of set theory is necessary part of the background everyone needs for further study of mathematics. It is also possible to study set theory for its own interest--it is a subject with intruiging results anout simple objects. This book starts with material that nobody can do without. There is no end to what can be learned of set theory, but here is a beginning.
Summary: Good
Rating: 5
For some reason I really liked the voice of this book. I really felt like I could curl up by the fire and read this one as if it were some kind of novel. This is rare in math books. I don't know Enderton just seems to put things really clearly. Reading it feels like a real person is talking to me, a nice, fiendly person. It's hard to put down. However, my proffesor liked to stray away from the book, so I was forced to put this book down and instead focus on my proffesor's notes. Enderton is clear, nice to read, and simple. However he jumps straight into the transfinite recursion THM witout really going over the Well ordering principle. Or maybe he addresses it later, my proffesor covered things in a funny order, and I essentially had to read the book in a funny order.
