Incorporating contemporary ideas, this introductory text assumes no knowledge of logic and no knowledge of set theory beyond the vague familiarity with curly brackets, union and intersection usually expected of an advanced mathematics student. Unique features include an introductory chapter covering the combinatorial prerequisites to set theory, precise definitions of models of the various axioms, and the inclusion of consistency results and large cardinals within the body of the text.
