Description including Unit Aims

The unit starts by extending some of the basic ideas concerning sets and functions which will have been introduced by this stage in the Analysis element of Core Mathematics, and goes on to such new topics as Russell's Paradox, equivalence relations, and countability and cardinality. Then some further topics in analysis are covered, including additional material on dequences, series, and continuous fractions.
