Fred,

Funny that you should mention "set theory".
As a freshman at Case Institute of Technology in 1959, we were subjected 
to "Geunther's Green Book" which was an attempt by the author to have 
the freshman math students "scrub" his efforts at writing a textbook on 
set theory - we got the "textbook" a chapter at a time on copied paper 
in a green binder.  Needless to say, we were at times confused, but 
after a year of that effort I think we may have learned something, but 
to this day I am not sure of the math of it all.  It either fits within 
the bounds of a set or it does not - seems more like a merging of logic 
and math to me, but then logic was closer to what I was perusing than 
the math equations.

73,
