Set theory: a look around

Tuesday, December 2, 2014 - 4:30pm
Malott 406

Conceived as a sequence of miniaturized "What is...?" talks:

1. What is an ordinal? (and what is the continuum hypothesis?)

2. What is a tree? (and what is Suslin's hypothesis?)

3. What is a model of ZFC?

4. What is forcing?

5. What is a forcing axiom?

Refreshments will be served in the lounge at 4:00 PM.
