List of Set Theorists

The List of Set Theorists refers to notable mathematicians who have significantly contributed to the field of set theory, which is a foundational area of mathematics dealing with collections of objects. Key figures include Georg Cantor, who developed concepts of infinity and different sizes of sets; Ernst Zermelo and Abraham Fraenkel, known for the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, a standard framework for modern mathematics; and Paul Cohen, who introduced techniques that resolved longstanding questions about set theory. Their work collectively shapes our understanding of mathematics, logic, and the nature of mathematical infinity.
