(MQR-AS, SMR-AS)
Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.

This will be a course on standard set theory (first developed by Ernst Zermelo early in the 20th century): the basic concepts of sethood and membership, operations on sets, functions as sets, the set-theoretic construction of the Natural Numbers, the Integers, the Rational and Real numbers; time permitting, some discussion of cardinality.
Course was formerly titled “Foundations of Mathematics”.
