★★★★ 1 ★★★★
K O NO -T V, in cooperation
with St. Mary’s University
community services, proudly
announces a new Educational
Television Series, “The South-
w e s t Seminar,” premiering
Sunday, February 15, 1959,
8:30-9:00 a.m.
The Southwest Seminar, Se-
ries I, “Sessions In Set Theo-
ry,” will be conducted by Dr.
James F. Gray, S.M., Assistant
Professor of Mathematics at St.
Mary’s University, San Anto-
nio. The series will offer a sim-
ple, concrete exposition of The
Theory of Sets, the foundation
stone of modern mathematics,
with abundant illustrations and
examples. The series will ori-
ginate live from the KONO-TV
studios.
The Theory of Sets gives a
perfect introduction into the
widespread wonders of mod-
I ern mathematics. It is new,

strange, and interesting, differ-
ent from familiar algebra and
geometry, yet simpler, easier to
learn. It starts from “scratch”
—absolutely no mathematical
background is needed. Never-
theless, it is extremely import-
ant, giving a “new look” to
much old mathematics and pro-
viding a launching pad for most
of the new mathematics.
The Southwest Seminar, Se-
ries I, “Sessions In Set Theory,”
will present basic topics with
abundant explanations and ex-
amples so that the average per-
son (high school students in-
cluded) will be able to work
out various problems in this
exciting new field.
The materials developed in
The Southwest Seminar’s “Ses-
sions In Set Theory” will be of
definite value to:
—the high school teacher of
mathematics; he will soon
find it appearing in his high
school mathematics syllabi
—the high school and college
mathematics and (social as
well as natural) science stu-
dent: he will meet more and
more of it in his future course
work
—the professional and techni-
cal man who works in any
way with computers, data
processing, statistics, opera-
tions research, probability,
circuit analysis, inventory
problems: he will find it more
and more becoming the basic
language of his field
—the cultured, liberally edu-
cated person who has no ac-
quaintanceship with modern
mathematics: he will be able
to fill a large gap in his
otherwise broad educational
grasp of the modem world by
this non-technical yet pene-
trating insight into the na-
ture and mode of working of
modern mathematics.
We cordially invite your com-
ments on this important new
television series.
