Reviews

[Nikita Kuzin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Хорошая книга для новичков в математике, где популярно излагаются основы теории множеств и некоторые более сложные темы. У меня к научно-популярным книгам по точным наукам странное отношение, потому что всегда остается чувство, что как-то все немного по верхам, и в результате потом ничего не откладывается. Но прочитал с удовольствием, и некоторые простые и наглядные примеры, надеюсь, пригодятся в дальнейшем.

Põnev ja kaasahaarav lugemine hulkadest.

Super neat little book that shows a bit of what set theory is, and makes it fun. Would recommend to anyone who wants to understand what pure math students deal with.

Reading the Bulgarian translation "Разкази за множествата" Народна Просвета 1968, превел Ив. Драганов.
Издателство "Наука" - Москва 1965г

Частта за множествата е достъпна за гимназист и без формална подготовка (макар че аз съм слушала университетския курс "Теория на множествата" така че може би нямам обективен поглед), но функциите изглежда навлизат по-надълбоко. Да видим!

very brief history of sets and it was the key of introducing the domain and how that develop to a function
