However, Realizing That The Readership Would Likely Include Many Software Developers And Users As Well As Mathematicians, The Book Is Written To Be As Accessible As Possible To Anyone With Some Mathematical Skills. As Such, This Is Not Your Grandfather's Mathematics Text. Between The Various Set Theory Assertions, Expressions, And Equations Flows A Narrative That Is Both Surprising And Entertaining. The Subtitle Of The Book, A Foundation For The Data Economy, Is Not Hyperbole. The Mathematical Definition Of Data, And The Various Set Theoretical Operations
