2011 Reprint of 1960 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition,
not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Paul Richard Halmos
(1916-2006) was a Hungarian-born American mathematician who made
fundamental advances in the areas of probability theory, statistics,
operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis (in particular,
Hilbert spaces). He was also recognized as a great mathematical
expositor. "...He (the author) uses the language and notation of
ordinary informal mathematics to state the basic set-theoretic facts
which a beginning student of advanced mathematics needs to
know...Because of the informal method of presentation, the book is
eminently suited for use as a textbook or for self-study. The reader
should derive from this volume a maximum of understanding of the
theorems of set theory and of their basic importance in the study of
mathematics." - "Philosophy and Phenomenological Research".Download
