It was hailed as a revolutionary mathematics curriculum that prioritized the concept of a set over the concept of a number. 'New math' was introduced to millions of US schoolchildren in the 1960s. Yet ...

Mathematical logic, set theory, lattices and universal algebra form an interconnected framework that underpins much of modern mathematics. At its heart, mathematical logic provides rigorous formal ...

Please note: you are viewing unit and programme information for a past academic year. Please see the current academic year for up to date information. The aim is to make the course of general interest ...

The theory of sets provides a foundation for all of mathematics. We shall discuss, informally, axioms for sets and develop the theory of infinite ordinal and cardinal numbers and their 'arithmetic'.

The equal sign is the bedrock of mathematics. It seems to make an entirely fundamental and uncontroversial statement: These things are exactly the same. But there is ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...
