Definition of set theory in English:

set theory

noun

mass noun

Example sentencesExamples
- In particular, she has attempted to reconcile poetry with set theory, a special branch of algebra.
- In addition to his work on set theory, Cohen has worked on differential equations and harmonic analysis.
- He therefore attempted to put set theory on an axiomatic basis to avoid the paradoxes.
- This framework is probably a new development in logic and set theory.
- Ernst Schröder's important work is in the area of algebra, set theory and logic.
