State the Axiom of Foundation and the Principle of ϵ\epsilon-Induction, and show that they are equivalent (in the presence of the other axioms of ZFZ F ). [You may assume the existence of transitive closures.]

Explain briefly how the Principle of ϵ\epsilon-Induction implies that every set is a member of some VαV_{\alpha}.

Find the ranks of the following sets:

(i) {ω+1,ω+2,ω+3}\{\omega+1, \omega+2, \omega+3\},

(ii) the Cartesian product ω×ω\omega \times \omega,

(iii) the set of all functions from ω\omega to ω2\omega^{2}.

[You may assume standard properties of rank.]
