This book presents an overview of the development of the Axiom of Choice since its introduction by Zermelo at the beginning of the last century. The book surveys the Axiom of Choice from three perspectives. The first, or mathematical perspective, is that of the 'working mathematician'. This perspective brings into view the manifold applications of the Axiom of Choiceusually in the guise of Zorns Lemma in a great variety of areas of mathematics. The second, foundational, perspective is that of the logician or constructive mathematician concerned with the foundational status of the Axiom of Choice. The third, topostheoretical, perspective is that taken by the mathematician or logician investigating the role of the Axiom of Choice in topos theory. Certain topicsfor instance mathematical applications of the Axiom, and its relationship with logicare discussed in considerable detail. Othersnotably the consistency and independence of the Axiom of the usual systems of set theoryare given no more than summary treatment, the justification here being that these topics have been given full expositions elsewhere. It is hoped that the book will be of interest to logicians and mathematicians, both professional and prospective.
