I am going to be taking an intro to set theory class soon, and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good book on the subject. Thanks!

I would also enjoy any suggestions for advanced calculus very much for personal reading. I have "Advanced Calculus" by David V. Widder, but have finsihed going through it and want some more. A suggestion of what subject would follow such topics nicely would also be appreciated. Thanks!

"Axiomatic Set Theory" by Patrick Suppes is a good book.

And as to what you should follow advanced calc. up with, what about differential equations, differential geometry, tensor calculus, measure theory, real or complex analysis, etc...

Thank you, and any recommended books for the other subjects listed- whichever you prefer.

Oh and I should mention that I am already pretty far along in differential equations, and have started on differential geometry, and I will also be taking classes in numerical analysis so that I may then take classes on complex analysis.

I also have Widder's book, which for an open ended book is fairly decent. However, if you are looking for a second book on advanced calculus, then I would suggest picking up "Advanced Calculus" by Borden. It is a very good read, he touches a little upon measure theory, topology, vector spaces, and finishes up with the Generalized Stoke's Theorem. Although, his style takes a bit to pick up before it is enjoyable.
If you plan to pursue analysis, or at least complex analysis; I suggest "Complex Analysis" by Gamelin. Aswell as, "Princeton Lectures in Real Analysis" by Stein&Shakarchi. The second book, while focusing on Real analysis, lends itself well to following up with more advanced books in measure theory. It also lays a little foundation for Ergodic Theory and Fractal Geometry.

As for Set Theory, I can't think of a good book off hand, but if one comes to mind; I'll let you know:)

It is yourself who would tell you the best choice, why not use google?
