Brilliant!
BTW, why set theory? Calculus is so much more fun! (and I know Mikael
Johansson now will chime in with a push for combinatorics :-)
To me the different branches of mathematics have their own
styles. Analysis is baroque, lots of little trigonometric cherubs and
leering integral gargoyles. Linear algebra is far more stark, a cubism
of straight lines and matrices. Classical geometry is (of course)
classicist, while differential geometry is a rich surrealist jungle.
