  • Basic Category Theory

    by Tom Leinster ...
    Series Book 143 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    At the heart of this short introduction to category theory is the idea of a universal property, important throughout mathematics. After an introductory chapter giving the basic definitions, separate chapters explain three ways of expressing universal properties: via adjoint functors, representable functors, and limits. A final chapter ties all three together. The book is suitable for use in ... Read more

  • Logic

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Graham Priest ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability ...

  • Godel's Mistake: The Role of Meaning in Mathematics

    by Ashish Dalela ...
    Why Is Mathematics Incomplete?Gödel's incompleteness theorem is a foundational result in mathematics that proves that any axiomatic theory of numbers will be either inconsistent or incomplete. Turing's Halting problem is a foundational result in computing proving that computers cannot know if a program will halt. Gödel's Mistake connects these theorems to the question of meaning. The book shows ... Read more

  • Set Theory

    A First Course

    by Daniel W. Cunningham ...
    Series series Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks
    Set theory is a rich and beautiful subject whose fundamental concepts permeate virtually every branch of mathematics. One could say that set theory is a unifying theory for mathematics, since nearly all mathematical concepts and results can be formalized within set theory. This textbook is meant for an upper undergraduate course in set theory. In this text, the fundamentals of abstract sets, ... Read more

  • Lectures on Real Analysis

    by Finnur Lárusson ...
    Series Book 21 - Australian Mathematical Society Lecture Series
    This is a rigorous introduction to real analysis for undergraduate students, starting from the axioms for a complete ordered field and a little set theory. The book avoids any preconceptions about the real numbers and takes them to be nothing but the elements of a complete ordered field. All of the standard topics are included, as well as a proper treatment of the trigonometric functions, which ... Read more

  • Appalachian Set Theory

    2006–2012

    Edited by James Cummings, Ernest Schimmerling ...
    Series Book 406 - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
    This volume takes its name from a popular series of intensive mathematics workshops hosted at institutions in Appalachia and surrounding areas. At these meetings, internationally prominent set theorists give one-day lectures that focus on important new directions, methods, tools and results so that non-experts can begin to master these and incorporate them into their own research. Each chapter in ... Read more

  • The Logic of Infinity

    by Barnaby Sheppard ...
    Few mathematical results capture the imagination like Georg Cantor's groundbreaking work on infinity in the late nineteenth century. This opened the door to an intricate axiomatic theory of sets which was born in the decades that followed. Written for the motivated novice, this book provides an overview of key ideas in set theory, bridging the gap between technical accounts of mathematical ... Read more

  • Visual Reasoning with Diagrams

    Edited by Amirouche Moktefi, Sun-Joo Shin ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Logic, the discipline that explores valid reasoning, does not need to be limited to a specific form of representation but should include any form as long as it allows us to draw sound conclusions from given information. The use of diagrams has a long but unequal history in logic: The golden age of diagrammatic logic of the 19th century thanks to Euler and Venn diagrams was followed by the early ... Read more

  • Canonical Ramsey Theory on Polish Spaces

    by Vladimir Kanovei, Marcin Sabok, Jindřich Zapletal ...
    Series Book 202 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    This book lays the foundations for an exciting new area of research in descriptive set theory. It develops a robust connection between two active topics: forcing and analytic equivalence relations. This in turn allows the authors to develop a generalization of classical Ramsey theory. Given an analytic equivalence relation on a Polish space, can one find a large subset of the space on which it has ... Read more

  • Coherence in Three-Dimensional Category Theory

    by Nick Gurski ...
    Series Book 201 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    Dimension three is an important test-bed for hypotheses in higher category theory and occupies something of a unique position in the categorical landscape. At the heart of matters is the coherence theorem, of which this book provides a definitive treatment, as well as covering related results. Along the way the author treats such material as the Gray tensor product and gives a construction of the ... Read more
