Pure mathematical structure. Sets, groups, rings, fields, topology — the formal bedrock everything else rests on.
Key Concepts: Set Definition (ZFC), Topological Space, Group Definition and Axioms, Propositional Logic (Boolean Operations), Predicate Logic (Quantifiers)
Key Primitives
Set Definition (ZFC) (axiom): A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects (elements). Membership is denoted x in S. Two sets are equal iff they have exactly the same elements (Axiom of Extensionality). Sets are the foundational objects of mathematics under ZFC.
