Late to the party, but I heart โ€œRethinking Set Theoryโ€, Tom Leinsterโ€™s presentation of ETCS (https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.6543). My natal foundation is higher-order logic, and this is the first time set theory has made any sense to me, other than as a technical device.

Rethinking set theory

Mathematicians manipulate sets with confidence almost every day, rarely making mistakes. Few of us, however, could accurately quote what are often referred to as "the" axioms of set theory. This suggests that we all carry around with us, perhaps subconsciously, a reliable body of operating principles for manipulating sets. What if we were to take some of those principles and adopt them as our axioms instead? The message of this article is that this can be done, in a simple, practical way (due to Lawvere). The resulting axioms are ten thoroughly mundane statements about sets. This is an expository article for a general mathematical readership.

Oh, I've read a few of these articles individually, but I didn't realise there was a central grouping of the math foundations articles from quanta https://www.quantamagazine.org/series/the-evolving-foundations-of-math/

It shouldn't be though, it's obviously true!

The well-ordering theorem on the other hand... ;)

Just came across that exacting and ultra exacting ordinals paper. Interesting stuff.
But if set theorists knew about marching cubes, theyโ€™d ask for the boundary conditions before they start analysing the point cloud :P

Begriffsschrift (1879), is one of the first manuscripts on #SymbolicLogic. As such, it literally invents a new language to describe the subjects the author, #GottlobFrege, wants to introduce. And this notation is very unlike what we see in math before or after this.

So I will list some theorems adapted (by me, circa 2020) from #Frege with proper set-theoretical bounds.

Alright, future engineers!
The **Union** of sets A & B (A U B) is all elements in A *or* B.
Ex: A={1,2}, B={2,3}. A U B = {1,2,3}.
Pro-Tip: Think 'OR' for Union. It includes everything from either set!
