Explore Set Theory and Logic with Stoll: A Beginner's Guide"

In summary, the speaker is seeking recommendations for an introductory book on Set Theory and Logic as they are currently struggling with their current book. Several suggestions are made, including Vellerman's "How to Prove It" and books by Suppes and Schaum's Outline. A longer list of books is also provided, including "A Mathematical Introduction to Logic" by Enderton and "Naive Set Theory" by Halmos. The speaker expresses gratitude for the suggestions.

Hi,
Right now I am currently going through Set Theory and Logic by Stoll. This is my first time going through Set Theory, Logic, and everything else in the book. I feel like I'm not getting all I can out of this book because I don't feel like I'm on the same level, I struggle to answer the exercises. Can anyone recommend a perhaps more introductory book for me that includes much of the same topics as the one I'm reading?


Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if it includes the same topics, but there is Vellerman's How to Prove It. if you're trying to learn how to do proofs. There's also the books by Suppes. There's always Schaum's Outline.
