DESCRIPTION:
They vary in difficulty, and are organized in such a way that earlier problems help in the solution of later ones. Many of these problems are also related to other fields of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, topology and real analysis. Rather than using drill exercises, most problems are challenging and require work, wit, and inspiration. For many of the problems, the authors also trace the history of the problems and then provide proper reference at the end of the solution.. This volume contains a variety of problems from classical set theory and represents the first comprehensive collection of such problems
From the reviews:"The volume contains 1007 problems in (mostly combinatorial) set theory. Some problems are elementary but most of them are challenging. For example, in Chapter 29 the reader is asked in Problem 1 to show that $\lambda^{. As indicated by the authors, "most of classical set theory is covered, classical in the sense that independence methods are not used, but classical also in the sense that most results come from the period, say, 1920--1970. The statement of the problems, which are distributed among
