The author's exposition is clear and refined. Moreover, his axiomatic treatment of the theory of point sets, apart from its logical simplicity, has also an advantage: it supplies excellent material for exercise in abstract thinking and logical argument in the deduction of theorems from stated suppositions alone -- that is, in proving theorems by drawing on strictly logical conclusions, without appeal to intuition. Numerous worked and unworked examples supplement each chapter.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Waclaw Sierpinski (1882-1969) was a prominent Polish mathematician and the author of 50 books and over 700 papers.
