You Know You're In Trouble When Your Textbooks Are Yellow
I've just bought the textbook for my set theory class.
It's a little bit daunting to see that almost everything I've ever learned about set theory, model theory, and logic fits into the first chapter of this book. But the author is snarky, so this should be fun.
Some choice quotations:
"We apologize to those mathematicians who are chagrined at not seeing their names mentioned more often." (p. xiv)
"The Axiom of Foundation is, as always in mathematics, totally irrelevant." (p. 47)
