  Preface
  A set theory textbook can cover a vast amount of material depending on the mathematical
  background of the readers it was designed for. Selecting the material for presentation in
  this book often came down to deciding how much detail should be provided when explaining
  concepts and what constitutes a reasonable logical gap which can be independently ﬁlled in
  by the reader. The initial chapters of this book will appeal to students who have little expe-
  rience in proving mathematical statements, while the last chapters, signiﬁcantly denser in
  subject matter, will appeal considerably more to senior undergraduate or graduate students.
  Choice of topics and calibration of the level of communication is based on the estimated
  mathematical ﬂuency of the target stud
