set theory
branch of mathematics that deals with the grouping of theorems and proving them
Set theory
Set theory is the mathematical theory of
sets, which represent collections of
abstract objects. It encompasses the everyday notions, introduced in
primary school, often as
Venn diagrams, of collections of objects, and the elements of, and membership in, such collections. In most modern mathematical formalisms, set theory provides the language in which mathematical objects are described. It is (along with
logic and the
predicate calculus) one of the axiomatic
foundations for mathematics, allowing mathematical objects to be constructed formally from the undefined terms of "set" and "set membership". It is in its own right a branch of
mathematics and an active field of mathematical research.

set theory
<
mathematics> A mathematical formalisation of the theory of "sets" (aggregates or collections) of objects ("elements" or "members"). Many mathematicians use set theory as the basis for all other mathematics.
Mathematicians began to realise toward the end of the 19th century that just doing "the obvious thing" with sets led to embarrassing
