The Hierarchy of Sets
This chapter introduces a set theory that interprets and is interpretable in the theory of lists from Chaps. 3 and 4.
Mathias and set theory
On the occasion of his 70th birthday, the work of Adrian Mathias in set theory is surveyed in its full range and extent.
Implicit dynamic function introduction and its connections to the foundations of mathematics
TLDR
Two formalisms are sketched, both extensions of Dynamic Predicate Logic, that innovatively do capture this feature of the natural language of mathematics and that differ only in the limitations they impose onto it.

Frege, Dedekind, and the Origins of Logicism
This paper has a two-fold objective: to provide a balanced, multi-faceted account of the origins of logicism; to rehabilitate Richard Dedekind as a main logicist. Logicism should be seen as more…
Mathematical Limits and Philosophical Significance of Transfinite Computation
Author(s): Rin, Benjamin | Advisor(s): Barrett, Jeffrey A; Walsh, Sean | Abstract: The general aim of this thesis is to explore applications of transfinite computation within the philosophy of…
Transfinite recursion and computation in the iterative conception of set
TLDR
This paper considers several kinds of recursion principles and proves results concerning their relation to one another, and considers philosophical motivations for these formal principles coming from the idea that computational notions lie at the core of the conception of set.
Set Theory: A First Course
Set theory is a rich and beautiful subject whose fundamental concepts permeate virtually every branch of mathematics. One could say that set theory is a unifying theory for mathematics, since nearly…
The Assets-Claims on Assets Equivalence in the Axiomatic Method
The purpose of the study is to analyze the assets-claims on assets equivalence based on the dual concept of monetary units and the axiomatic method. The methodology is analytical, rationalistic and…

Godel’s work from the beginning to his first substantive explorations in philosophy would to a significant extent be contextualized by, reactive to, and reflective of, Russell’s. Russell was the…

TLDR
The set theoretic assumptions used in the current published proof of Fermat's Last Theorem are explored, how these assumptions figure in the methods Wiles uses, and the currently known prospects for a proof using weaker assumptions.
Logical dilemmas - the life and work of Kurt Gödel
TLDR
Kurt Goedel's seminal achievements that changed the perception and foundations of mathematics are explained in the context of his life from the turn of the century Austria to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
