This course is offered simultaneously with the lecture "MCS.T201: Set and Topology I" and provides exercises on set theory and metric space.
The aim of this course is to understand the fundamentals of set theory and metric space well and apply them to practical problems.
The students are expected to understand important examples of set theory and metric space, to learn the fundamentals to handle mathematical subjects rigorously and also to be able to apply them to practical problems.
Set, Map, Family of Sets, Axiom of Choice, Equivalence Relation, Quotient Set, Cardinality, Order Relation, Well-ordered set, Metric Space
