Set Theory: An Introduction to Independence Proofs

Template:Short description Template:Italic title Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Template:Wikidata image Set Theory: An Introduction to Independence Proofs is a textbook and reference work in set theory by Kenneth Kunen. It starts from basic notions, including the ZFC axioms, and quickly develops combinatorial notions such as trees, Suslin's problem, the diamond principle, and Martin's axiom. It develops some basic model theory (rather specifically aimed at models of set theory) and the theory of Gödel's constructible universe, L. The book then proceeds to describe the method of forcing.

Kunen completely rewrote the book for the 2011 edition (under the title Set Theory), including more model theory.
