Oxford Mathematics | Set Theory - What is Set Theory and what is it for? Oxford Mathematics 3rd Year Student Lecture @OxfordMathematics | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
This is the first of four lectures from Robin Knight's 3rd Year Set Theory course. Robin writes:
"Infinity baffled mathematicians, and everyone else, for thousands of years. But around 1870, Georg Cantor worked out how to study infinity in a way that made sense, and created set theory. Modern mathematics can be built on set theory. These lectures begin to explore how".

All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
