About this ebook
Studies in Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics, Volume 102: Set Theory: An Introduction to Independence Proofs offers an introduction to relative consistency proofs in axiomatic set theory, including combinatorics, sets, trees, and forcing.
The book first tackles the foundations of set theory and infinitary combinatorics. Discussions focus on the Suslin problem, Martin's axiom, almost disjoint and quasi-disjoint sets, trees, extensionality and comprehension, relations, functions, and well-ordering, ordinals, cardinals, and real numbers. The manuscript then ponders on well-founded sets and easy consistency proofs, including relativization, absoluteness, reflection theorems, properties of well-founded sets, and induction and recursion on well-founded relations. The publication examines constructible sets, forcing, and iterated forcing. Topics include Easton forcing, general iterated forcing, Cohen model, forcing with partial functions of larger cardinality, forcing with finite partial functions, and general extensions.
The manuscript is a dependable source of information for mathematicians and researchers interested in set theory.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a very good book. Held my interest immediately and liked the characters. I will buy this for some of my friends. The main character, Edward, is very human in his reactions to his wifes' death and the subsequent chasings of single women. I've heard about this phonomenon and this showed how quickly it happrens. Excellent.
