	THEORY GROUPS - Online Information article about THEORY GROUPS
		The formal theory of continuous groups of contact-transformations, is, of course, in no way distinct from the formal theory of continuous groups in general.
		The general theory of curvature of curves and surfaces may in a similar way be regarded as a theory of their invariants for the group of motions.
		The isomorphism is multiple, since to a single operation of the second set there correspond the two operations of the first for which a, b, c, d and -a, -b, -c, -d are parameters.

	literary theory: an evaluation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Theory is there to help them should they need it, but its wider reaches and philosophical implications are not generally of interest.
		For all its deficiencies, theory can focus attention on what writers should be trying to do, act as a prophylactic against the false and stultifying, and open up disciplines that support writing and are fascinating in their own right.
		Theory at its most basic, those practical maxims that writers carry in their heads — maintain the viewpoint, shun cliché, employ the active tense — are applications of the aesthetic demands for pleasing shape and emotive appeal.

	Set Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Set Theory is the mathematical science of the infinite.
		The language of set theory, in its simplicity, is sufficiently universal to formalize all mathematical concepts and thus set theory, along with Predicate Calculus, constitutes the true Foundations of Mathematics.
		There are four main directions of current research in set theory, all intertwined and all aiming at the ultimate goal of the theory: to describe the structure of the mathematical universe.

		Set theory, the theory of types, and mathematical logic are still very important though in computer science and in artificial intelligence, due to the needs in these fields for knowledge representation, computational models of intelligence, and automated reasoning.
		The notion of a set is defined formally, and then the axiom of extensionality, which gives a criterion for two sets being equal, and the axiom schema schema of separation.
		The theory of denumerable sets is then discussed, followed by one of the most fascinating concepts in all of mathematics: the theory of transfinite and infinite cardinals.

		Two sets can be put into one-to-one correspondence iff their members can be paired off such that each member of the first set has exactly one counterpart in the second set, and each member of the second set has exactly one counterpart in the first set.

		A group with only one element is a free group of rank 0, freely generated by the empty set.
		So the rank of a free group is a well-defined concept, and free groups of different ranks are non-isomorphic.

	Set theory
		Ultimately, the goal of Set Theory was to provide a common axiomatic basis for all of mathematics.
		A set A which is cardinally equivalent to the set of natural numbers is called denumerable or countably infinite.
		Set of two numbers in which the order has an agreed-upon meaning, such as the Cartesian coordinates (x, y), where the first coordinate represents the horizontal position, and the second coordinate represents the vertical position.

		Then the authors describe how set theory can be axiomatized within first-order logic (first a simple version with urelements, then later full ZFC without regularity [foundation]), giving a basis for mathematics.
		This can be used to show sets (such as the set of satisfiable formulas) are not enumerable by showing their complement is enumerable and not decidable.
		Theories (as consistent sets of sentences closed under consequence) may be R-enumerable, R-axiomatizable and finitely axiomatizable.

	03E: Set theory
		Fuzzy set theory replaces the two-valued set-membership function with a real-valued function, that is, membership is treated as a probability, or as a degree of truthfulness.
		The theory of finite sets is, arguably, a definition of Combinatorics.
		Since Axiomatic Set Theory is often used to construct the natural numbers (satisfying the Peano axioms, say) it is possible to translate statements about Number Theory to Set Theory.

	Sheldon Solomon on "How Rank influenced Becker"
		It does not seem possible, Rank seems to be saying, to eradicate the two "ultimate" anxieties, which appear to be an existential burden carried out of the womb by every new arrival on the planet.
		Rank also explores the other side of guilt: The human being who has failed to separate and individuate also feels guilt-a kind of thrown-back responsibility- for remaining embedded in the other, submerged in the womb of the collective.
		Rank never forgets the impossibility of the causa-sui project - even while exploring its dynamics as a spur to the creative urge and artistic illusion.

	Russell's Paradox (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		The paradox arises within naive set theory by considering the set of all sets that are not members of themselves.
		Call the set of all sets that are not members of themselves "R." If R is a member of itself, then by definition it must not be a member of itself.
		Because of this, and because set theory underlies all branches of mathematics, many people began to worry that, if set theory was inconsistent, no mathematical proof could be trusted completely.

	New Set Theory
		Despite vast advances in set theory and mathematics in general, the language of set theory, which is also the language of mathematics, has remained the same since the beginning of modern set theory and first order logic.
		The extension is meaningful whenever the base theory includes basic set theory and the notion of being well-founded, and in particular is meaningful for second order arithmetic.
		It is not clear how strong the theory should be, but for the theorem the following version/axiomatization works: extensionality, foundation, empty set, pairing, union, existence of transitive closure, existence of the set of all sets with transitive closure less numerous than a given set, and bounded quantifier separation.

		Set theory is handy not only for describing the axioms of probability, but also for describing events and determining their probabilities.
		In the remainder of this course, all sets are assumed to be subsets of the sample space.
		To evaluate these sets, usually one must go through the (sometimes tedious) process of determining which outcomes are in the resulting set.

		In the practice of computer science, on the other hand, the use of sets as a data structure is not so common as it might be.
		Also, set constraints on their own are extensively studied as a natural formalism for many problems that arise in program analysis (e.g., type-checking or optimization).
		Non-determinism in set unification, set constraints, intensional set formers, are all features that potentially allow one to write programs in a more declarative fashion, and definitively to obtain simpler and more readable programs.

		Critical theory seeks the truth while recognizing the truth is complex and dynamic; the truth varies according to context and perspective while changing across space and over time.
		Working with a critical theory means examining the "object of inquiry" by making use of multiple, different lenses, yet approaching this task with a precise purpose; on the basis of a clear set of presuppositions; and in order to contribute toward definite goals.
		Critical theory seeks to contribute toward the development of a form of social organization where people experience freedom in and through their active engagement in social relations with each other, not outside or away from social influence and determination.

	Combinatorial Game Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Combinatorial Game Theory studies strategies and mathematics of two-player games of perfect knowledge such as chess or go (but often either concentrating instead on simpler games such as nim, or solving endgames and other special cases).
		An important distinction between this subject and classical game theory (a branch of economics) is that game players are assumed to move in sequence rather than simultanously, so there is no point in randomization or other information-hiding strategies.

	Rank (set theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematical set theory, the rank of a set is defined inductively as the smallest ordinal number greater than the rank of any member of the set, where the rank of the empty set is zero.
		As a consequence, when using the normal set-theoretic definition of the ordinal numbers in terms of sets, every ordinal has a rank equal to itself.
