set theory Branch of mathematics developed by Georg Cantor in the late 19th century. It is based on George Boole's work on mathematical logic, but it manipulates sets of abstract or real objects rather than logical propositions. It is concerned with the properties of sets and can be applied to most other branches of mathematics.
