Paradoxes of set theory

This article contains a discussion of paradoxes of set theory. As with most mathematical paradoxes, they generally reveal surprising and counter-intuitive mathematical results, rather than actual logical contradictions within modern axiomatic set theory. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to sets || Set theory Overview - Part 2

A set is the mathematical model for a collection of different things; a set contains elements or members, which can be mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other #sets. The #set with no element is the empty

Set Theory (Part 2): ZFC Axioms

Please feel free to leave comments/questions on the video and practice problems below! In this video, I introduce some common axioms in set theory using the Zermelo-Fraenkel w/ choice (ZFC) system. Five out of nine ZFC axioms are covered and the remaining four will be introduced in their

Why is the Empty Set a Subset of Every Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Subset Definition

The empty set is a very cool and important part of set theory in mathematics. The empty set contains no elements and is denoted { } or with the empty set symbol ∅. As a result of the empty set having no elements is that it is a subset of every set. But why is that? We go over that in this

Set Theory (Part 2a): Russell's Paradox

Please feel free to leave comments/questions on the video below! In this video, I briefly speak about the Russell paradox and why ZFC avoids this paradox when discussing pathological sets. One should hopefully see why it is that this paradox is disastrous for the naive set theory adopted
