Ordered Sets : An Introduction

An introduction to the basic tools of the theory of (partially) ordered sets such as visualization via diagrams, subsets, and homomorphisms. Using a thematic approach, the author presents open or recently solved problems to motivate the development of constructions and investigations for new classes of ordered sets. The text can be used as a focused follow-up or companion to a first proof (set theory and relations) or graph theory course. Rich in exercises, the book will be a valuable text for undergraduate/graduate students and an excellent resource for interested researchers.
