> Most math is fundamentally about reasoning about infinite sets.=20
Except men have been doing math way before last century's mania with set th=
eory. The computer is *never* counting up to the infinite, of course... It'=
s not *reasoning* about infinite stuff either, it's always applying a logic=
al, step-by-step recipe, however complex. Many things *can* be cast in diff=
erent formalism, be it better or not. The same happen within math... some p=
roblem are more naturally, whatever the term means, cast in some language t=
han other. Or some properties/structures made more apparent. For more on al=
l of that, see NJ.Wildberger, math teacher on YT ... Just be sure this stan=
ce isn't coming from nowhere, nor is devoid of reason.

I'll look at it. Do you know "HOW TO PROVE IT, A Structured Approach", from=
 Daniel J. Velleman ? It's lengthier, among other things. But like you said=
, many good books here.
