The discussion revolves around finding a book that contains numerous Set Theory word problems with solutions, particularly those suitable for standardized tests or educational settings. The scope includes recommendations for resources that focus on practical applications of Set Theory rather than theoretical formulations.
Participants express differing views on the compatibility of Set Theory with word problems, with some suggesting that they are not typically aligned. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the availability of suitable resources.
There is a lack of consensus on what constitutes a suitable resource for Set Theory word problems, and the discussion highlights potential limitations in the definitions and expectations surrounding the topic.
Individuals seeking educational resources for Set Theory, particularly those interested in practical applications for middle and high school students, may find this discussion relevant.

I am not sure I have recommendation, but since this thread is already going, I wanted to say that "set theory" and "word problems" are somewhat a contradiction in terms, especially in the context of university math. Even naive set theory (and especially axiomatic set theory) is usually concerned with formulas, such as "Prove that $\overline{A\setminus B}=\overline{A}\cup B$". Are you talking about word problems with Venn diagrams? Could you give an example of problems you are interested in?LeoSmolka said:I am looking for a book which contains LOTS of Set Theory word problems with solutions.
