Lectures in Logic and Set Theory. Volume 2: Set Theory

Volume 83 in the series Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics. Volume 2 of the book Lectures in Logic and Set Theory.

Volume 2, on formal (ZFC) set theory, incorporates a self-contained "chapter 0" on proof techniques so that it is based on formal logic, in the style of Bourbaki. The emphasis on basic techniques provides a solid foundation in set theory and a thorough context for the presentation of advanced topics (such as absoluteness, relative consistency results, two expositions of Godel's constructive universe, numerous ways of viewing recursion and Cohen forcing).
