From the Reviews: "...He (the author) uses the language and notation of ordinary informal mathematics to state the basic set-theoretic facts which a beginning student of advanced mathematics needs to know...Because of the informal method of presentation, the book is eminently suited for use as a textbook or for self-study. The reader should derive from this volume a maximum of understanding of the theorems of set theory and of their basic importance in the study of mathematics." - "Philosophy and Phenomenological Research".

集合论是数学的一个基本分支，在数学中占据着独特的地位，其基本概念已渗透到数学的所有领域。本书从集合论中最基本的概念开始，循序渐进，深入浅出。主要内容有：公理及运算、关系与函数、自然数、实数的构造、基数与选择公理、秩序与序数、序数与序型等。本书附有大约300道习题。　　本书可作为数学、计算机及其他相关专业本科生教材。

《清华大学计算机系列教材:数理逻辑与集合论(第2版)》共12章，前8章介缗数理逻辑，包括命题和谓词逻辑的基本概念、等值和推理演算、公理系统、模型论和证明论。后4章介绍集合论，包括集合、关系、函数、实数集与基数。《清华大学计算机系列教材:数理逻辑与集合论(第2版)》可作为大学离散数学的教科书。也可供从事计算机科学、人工智能等方面的科技人员参考。

本书前六章是集合论的基本内容。第一章集合的基本概念，包括子集和幂集、集合的运、卡氏集和集合族等；第二章映射，映射是集合论中和集合同样重要的基本概念；第三章关系，主要讨论两种重要的二元关系——等价关系和偏序关系；第四章基数，第五章序数，第六章选择公理，这三部分是集合论中最为深刻的内容，从概念的理解到定理的证明都有一定的难度。 本书后三章是一些特殊的内容。第七章简单介绍在现代逻辑中有广泛应用的两

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.

Every mathematician agrees that every mathematician must know some set theory; the disagreement begins in trying to decide how much is some. This book contains my answer to that question. The purpose of the book is to tell the beginning student of advanced mathematics the basic settheoretic facts of life, and to do so with the minimum of philosophical discourse and logical formalism. The point of view throughout is that of a prospective mathematician anxious to study groups, or integrals, or manifolds. From this point of view the concepts and methods of this book are merely some of the standard mathematical tools; the expert specialist will find nothing new here。
