God's mathematics

Set theory can be viewed as a form of exact theology.
Rudy Rucker.
[speaking about Set Theory] God's mathematics, which we should leave for God to do.
Errett Bishop.

Some books on Set Theory: Thomas Jech's Set Theory and The Axiom of Choice, Akihiro Kanamori's The Higher Infinite, Michael Potter's Set Theory and Its Philosophy.

Currently trying to digest a book on Real Analysis, while painstakingly following the down-to-the-last-detail proofs available at Metamath.
