Ask HN: A good intro to set theory?
Wondering if anyone could provide some links or good recommendations on set theory literature for a beginner. I'm looking for something to give me a really good foundation on the subject, preferably with some interactive examples/problems. Much appreciated!

- impendia 14y agoI haven't read it personally, but I've heard that "Naive Set Theory" by Halmos is the gold standard.
