Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about resources that define mathematical concepts using set theory.
  • Another participant suggests Metamath as a potential resource.
  • A subsequent reply expresses difficulty in locating specific information on the Metamath website.
  • Another participant reiterates the challenge of finding the desired content on the Metamath site, noting that while it contains extensive information, it may not be easily navigable.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Hi all :D,
Is there a website or book that has the definitions of most mathematical concepts in terms of sets?

Thanks

Metamath does.
 
Sorry. But I can't seem to locate it in their webpage.

Almost all of the website does that -- it has literally thousands of pages of it. There are probably only a dozen pages on the metamath website other than that.
