120 pages ; 24 cm Science students have to spend much of their time learning how to do laboratory work, even if they intend to become theoretical, rather than experimental, scientists. Mathematics students must try to prove results and then have their work criticized by experienced mathematicians. 0. Some Ideas of Logic.- I. Sets and Mappings.- 1. Some Concepts of Set Theory.- 2.
