3	Notes on Set Theory more books like this by Yiannis N Moschovakis The axiomatic theory of sets is a vibrant part of pure mathematics, with its own basic notions, fundamental results, and deep open problems. At the same time, it is often viewed as a foundation of mathematics so that in the most prevalent, current mathematical practice "to make a notion precise" simply means "to define it in set theory."

11	In Search of Infinity more books like this by N. Ya Vilenkin, Hardy Grant (Editor), Abe Shenitzer (Translator) The concept of infinity has been a topic of great interest for hundred of years, for scholars and lay people alike. The theory of infinte sets lies at the heart of much mathematics, yet it has produced a series of paradoxes that have led many scholars to doubt the soundness of its foundations.
