1 Chapter III Set Theory as a Theory of First Order Predicate Logic
... To give an idea of what formalisations of parts of metamathematics come to, here is an outline of the formalisation of the very first results we proved in Ch. 1, the soundness and completeness of first order logic. The formalisation of these results will involve, first, formal definitions within the ...

... • A set is a collection of numbers or objects. - If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} then A is a set that contains those numbers. • An element is a member of a set. - 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all elements of A. - means ‘is an element of’ hence 4 A. - means ‘is not an element of’ hence 7 A. - means ‘the emp ...

... Now the number of those elements y ∈ A∗ such that ¬(xR∗ y), is not S greater than twice the number of those a ∈ A for which ¬(π(x)Ra). Thus R is dense. Since every R–consistent choice on A is also an R∗ –consistent choice on A∗ , we get an R∗ –consistent choice S on the family A∗ . Then we easily se ...

With the notion of bijection at hand, it is easy to formalize the idea that two finite sets have the same number of elements: we just need to verify their elements can be placed in pairwise correspondence; that is, that there is a bijection between them. It is then natural to generalize this to infi ...
