- I just felt compelled to mourn publically over a couple of dearly
- departed math texts. One was Rudin's Analysis, which I lent to a
- classmate to peruse, which perusal has been going on now for about
- 10 years. The second was Spivak's Calculus, which I lent to a
- trusted precocious young friend. This friend subsequently died in
- a tragic accident, and his parents would not part with the book.
-
- The moral is: I learn the hard way.
-
- Anyway, I am now looking to acquire a text on set theory. It
- should be somewhat advanced and fairly thorough. It should contain
- an axiomatic development of a good set theory (preferably ZFC), and
- discussions of the recurrent topics (e.g., Russell's Paradox, AC,
- naive set theory, alternate set theories, etc). You know, one of
- those books that will in future years become a good friend.
-
- Please email me with suggestions.
