Ideally covers lots of content in depth with lots of exercises and doesn't skip anything in hardcover. The only bit of set theory I know is the most very basic that would occupy the first chapter in a book that would require it. Self study, very motivated. :) Thanks!

Searching Amazon for set theory, I found what seems to be a good list. I haven't read any of these books, but all the reviews are excellent.

Introduction to Set Theory by Karel Hrbacek and Thomas Jech

This seems like the best introduction, but I haven't looked through any of these thoroughly. Jech has also written another book on set theory. The reviews mention a companion exercise book, Exercises in Set Theory by Sigler.

The classic is suppose to be Naive Set Theory by Paul Halmos.

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
