'This book introduces a method of reasearch which can be used in various fields of mathematics. It examines, in a systematic way, the quantitative characterizations of the'deviation from a (given) property', called the'defect of a property', in: set theory; topology; measure theory; real, complex and functional analysis; algebra; geometry; number theory; fuzzy mathematics'--P. [2] of cover.
