PREFACE This set of notes is part and parcel of a series of lectures given in 1970 from February up to June at the Department of Mathematics at the State University at Utrecht and they were intended only as an aid to the people attending those lectures. They were written as the course developed. In fact, in aspect, they are no more than prelecture

of their official looking scribblings. In most

cases complete and detailed proofs are given in these notes but in some few places there are only short indications to the proof. This occurred when a result was only slighty touched in order to round up the presentation. It was the aim of these lectures to provide an exposition of some of the basic techniques and results of the theory of models of Set Theory. This theory covers a wide field and it is not possible to compress it into one series of lectures. We have chosen as our theme the construction of Godel's model L of constructible sets, the construction of Fraenkel­Mostowski­Specker models (containing ungrounded sets like x

= {x})

and Cohen­generic models. As an

introduction (chapter I), the axiomatization of Zermelo­Fraenkel is given, some basic concepts and Levy's

of reflection.

Chapter II c6ntains Godel's relative cons

proof for the axiom

of choice, the generalized continuum hypothesis and the axiom of constructibility. Chapters III and IV contain the methods of FraenkelMostowski­Specker and of P.Cohen in a

setting and various

applications. Many of these applications have not yet appeared in print.

As an aid to the reader several informal discussions and

explanations are included. Although we have attempted to reduce mistakes and Obscurities to a minimum,we should be glad to have our attention drawn to any indiscretion the reader may discover in the text. To finish this preface I wish to express my gratitude to Dvvan Dalen and the Department of ]\'Iathel'latics at Utrecht for the kind invitation t.o spend a Y8ar at this Institute.Thanks are due to R.de Vrijerand K.Rasl'lussen for correcting several misprints and to
