Extract

Today, “sets” are taught in schools at a variety of levels and the basics of set theory are reviewed in many college mathematics courses. After students have gained some facility with the rudiments of set theory, it is instructive for them to see what would happen if our set theory were a little different. This not only reinforces their knowledge of the standard theory, but exposes them to other possible mathematical structures. This article shows one way in which this might be accomplished.
