Set Theory

The mathematical theory of Sets. Set theory is closely associated with the branch of mathematics known asLogic.


There are a number of different versions of set theory, each with its own rules and Axioms. In order ofincreasing Consistency Strength, several versions of set theory include Peano Arithmetic (ordinaryAlgebra), second-order arithmetic (Analysis), Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory, Mahlo, weakly compact,hyper-Mahlo, ineffable, measurable, Ramsey, supercompact, huge, and -huge set theory.


Given a set of Real Numbers, there are 14 versions of set theory which can be obtained using onlyclosure and complement (Beeler et al. 1972, Item 105).

See also Axiomatic Set Theory, Consistency Strength, Continuum Hypothesis, Descriptive Set Theory,Impredicative, Naive Set Theory, Peano Arithmetic, Set, Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory
