Transfinite arithmetic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 92.16.187.189 (talk) at 20:23, 26 July 2010 (For this, I think "discovered" is a better word as a lot of Cantor's work is heavily committed to mathematical realism.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In mathematics, transfinite arithmetic is the generalization of elementary arithmetic to infinite quantities like infinite sets. It was originally discovered by the Russian-born German mathematician Georg Cantor.
