Nokkuð langt síðan ég las þessa en hef ekki gleymt staf. Vel skrifuð, skyldulesning.

I was looking for readings on Set Theory and found this as a suggestion on Stack Exchange. I'm currently working through the problems and this book is delightful. I would recommend this over the more popular Set Theory books such as Halmos. It is an easy read with interesting problems(you could do formal proofs for most of them if you wish to). The explanations are clear and concise.

My favorite math book! Three semesters of class from 120 pages. Can't be beat!

Very clear and concise. The transition from set theory to metric spaces was done in a very clean manner. One of the better books I've read on the subject.
