Where MATH-4403 counts

Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • MATH 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN MATHEMATICS
  • MATH MINOR IN MATHEMATICS

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course introduces concepts of set theory essential to modern mathematics. Topics include axioms for sets, infinite sets, cardinality, ordinal and cardinal numbers, and ordered sets.

Requisite courses

One of MATH-2405, MATH-2501, MATH-3202, MATH-3401 or MATH-3402 [prerequisite(s)].
