Maths - Set Theory looks interesting

Following on from my post the other day regarding Maths, I've had a couple of revelations...

First, I've decided that my medium term goal is to gain a decent understanding of Set theory.

Second, I've found a site which provides a way to navigate down the branches of Mathematics:

    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hmat.html#hmath

So, given that I know I need strong algebra skills to understand set theory I can use that page to drill down on the various streams of algebra theory.  That would ultimately lead me down to the Golden Rule of algebra!

I also found this interesting article on the history of set theory:
   
    http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/%7Ehistory/HistTopics/Beginnings_of_set_theory.html

Which I got to from this superset of higher level links:

  • well if you want to get deep with the basis of SQL then set's is what you need.



    look for info on "Relational Algebra" this is the basis for the logic of SQL.

    Thanks Denny, that's exactly what I'm after!

  • Hell yeah Darren. I have been eagerly awaiting some math blogging. I'm very interested in where you are going with this, and I'll help out as much as humanly possible with lists of book references. I'll start through my collection now and see if anything I have covers the area you are working in.



    Most of my books in this field are on group theory, something you'll probably start looking into after set theory. So I can probably give better references then.

  • multiplication and division of set
