The Infinite
MATH114 SP

Notions of the infinite pervade our understanding of number, space, and size. The infinite enters different subjects in different ways, and this course will introduce several of them: mathematical induction in number theory, Dedekind cuts in the theory of real numbers, and infinite cardinal numbers as measures of the size of infinite sets.
