Sets: Naïve, Axiomatic and Applied is a basic compendium on naïve, axiomatic, and applied set theory and covers topics ranging from Boolean operations to union, intersection, and relative complement as well as the reflection principle, measurable cardinals, and models of set theory. Applications of the axiom of choice are also discussed, along with infinite games and the axiom of determinateness. Comprised of three chapters, this volume begins with an overview of naïve set theory and some important sets and notations. The equality of sets, subsets, and ordered pairs are considered, together with equivalence relations and real numbers. The next chapter is devoted to axiomatic set theory and discusses the axiom of regularity, induction and recursion, and ordinal and cardinal numbers. In the final chapter, applications of set theory are reviewed, paying particular attention to filters, Boolean algebra, and inductive definitions together with trees and the Borel hierarchy. This book is intended for non-logicians, students, and working and teaching mathematicians.

"This accessible approach to set theory for upper-level undergraduates poses rigorous but simple arguments. Each definition is accompanied by commentary that motivates and explains new concepts. A historical introduction is followed by discussions of classes and sets, functions, natural and cardinal numbers, the arithmetic of ordinal numbers, and related topics. 1971 edition with new material by the author"--

Ever since Paul Cohen's spectacular use of the forcing concept to prove the independence of the continuum hypothesis from the standard axioms of set theory, forcing has been seen by the general mathematical community as a subject of great intrinsic interest but one that is technically so forbidding that it is only accessible to specialists. In the past decade, a series of remarkable solutions to long-standing problems in C*-algebra using set-theoretic methods, many achieved by the author and his collaborators, have generated new interest in this subject. This is the first book aimed at explaining forcing to general mathematicians. It simultaneously makes the subject broadly accessible by explaining it in a clear, simple manner, and surveys advanced applications of set theory to mainstream topics.

This book bridges the gap between the many elementary introductions to set theory that are available today and the more advanced, specialized monographs. The authors have taken great care to motivate concepts as they are introduced. The large number of exercises included make this book especially suitable for self-study. Students are guided towards their own discoveries in a lighthearted, yet rigorous manner.

First book that provides both theory and real world applications of fuzzy arithmetic in a comprehensive style. Provides a well-structured compendium that offers both a deeper knowledge about the theory of fuzzy arithmetic and an extensive view on its applications in the engineering sciences making it useful for graduate courses, researchers and engineers. Presents the basic definitions and fundamental principles of fuzzy arithmetic, derived from fuzzy set theory. Summarizes the state-of-the-art stage of fuzzy arithmetic, offers a comprehensive composition of different approaches including their benefits and drawbacks, and finally, and presents a completely new methodology of implementation of fuzzy arithmetic with particular emphasis on its subsequent application to real-world systems. Concentrates on the application of fuzzy arithmetic to the simulation, analysis and identification of systems with uncertain model parameters, as they appear in various disciplines of engineering science. Focuses on mechanical engineering, geotechnical engineering, biomedical engineering, and control engineering.
