Forcing is a powerful tool from logic which is used to prove that certain propositions of mathematics are independent of the basic axioms of set theory, ZFC. This book explains clearly, to non-logicians, the technique of forcing and its connection with independence, and gives a full proof that a naturally arising and deep question of analysis is independent of ZFC.Dales, H. G. is the author of 'An Introduction to Independence for Analysts', published 1987 under ISBN 9780521339964 and ISBN 0521339960.
