==History of set theory==
It was developed in the late 1800s, primarly by the German mathematician [[Georg Cantor]]. This initial attempt became known as "naive set theory" because mathematicians found flaws in it. It was replaced by "axiomatic set theory" in the early 1900s. The most commonly used such axiomatization is [[Zermelo-Fraenkel]] set theory.
One paradox in naive set theory was announced by [[Bertrand Russell]] in 1901, and is known as [[Russell's Paradox]].
