An excellent undergraduate text on set theory that could be used in courses taught in mathematics and philosophy departments. The intuitive development in the first chapters also makes the book suitable for self study.
"The volume is in a clear and interesting style and is highly recommended to undergraduate students of mathematics as well as philosophy." --ACTA SCI. MATH.
