Georg Cantor and Infinity
February 11, 2009 by richbeveridge Georg Cantor was an important mathematician who lived during the late 19th century.  He devised a method for comparing different sizes of infinite quantities and demonstrated that there were differnet sizes of infinite sets. But, you can create a one-to-one correspondence between the coutning numbers and the even numbers. 1 (in the counting numbers) matches up with 2 (in the even numbers) 2 (in the counting numbers) matches up with 4 (in the even numbers) 3 matches up with 6 4 matches up with 8 and so on.  Any counting number N will match up with 2N in the set of even numbers. aleph null Diagonal Proof is actually fairly simplistic. Today Cantor is regarded as one of the most important mathematicians to ever work.  His ideas regarding infinity are deeply philosophical and have had a profound impact on mathematics, science and philosophy.

      (ProQuest Information and Learning: Foreign characters omitted.) THE MYSTERY OF THE ALEPH: MATHEMATICS, THE KABBALAH, AND THE SEARCH FOR INFINITY by Amir Aczel Four Walls Eight Windows, New York, NY, 258 pp., 2000 Seeing a marked increase in the number of books on mathematics written for the general populace and published in the past few years has been nice, seeing so many of them take a historical view is even more exciting. The Mystery of the Aleph is a fine addition to this collection. Amir Aczel's topic is Georg Cantor and his discovery/invention of transfinite numbers. The book is a well-written nontechnical introduction to Cantor's life, set theory, transfinite numbers, the continuum hypothesis, and related mathematical and historical issues. While staying true to the mathematics Amir Aczel has written The Mystery of the Aleph with the attention to suspense and character development of a skilled story-teller. The story begins with Cantor's death in a university mental clinic in 1918. Like a fine mystery writer Aczel draws us into the tale by concluding a short (9 pages) first chapter with the following:

    The Ideal Computer
    The ideal computer has infinite memory. There are two ways to look at this:
    • Aristotelian version: Whenever you run out of memory, the computer contacts the factory. A maintenance person is flown in by helicopter and attaches 100 Gigs of RAM and all programs resume their computations, as if they had never been interrupted.
    When a program is running on the ideal computer, there is no bound on the amount of memory and no bound on the amount of time. You can run a Java program and never have any overflow, or out of memory errors. An ideal computer can be programmed to print out:
    Computable and Describable Numbers
    We say that program prints out the infinite sequence if, when

    The infinite hotel
    cantor infinity math The answer: take the guest currently in room 1 and move him to room 2. Take the guest currently in room 2 and move him to room 3. And so forth. Put the new guy in room 1. Infinity + 1 is still infinity. There are just as many integers from 1 to infinity as there are from 2 to infinity. If any finite number of new guests show up at the hotel, you can accommodate all of them. countably Now imagine the same hotel, same situation, all rooms are full, and an infinite number of Infinity Tour Buses all show up at the same time. The tour buses are numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on forever, and each of the buses has an infinite number of passengers sitting in seats 1, 2, 3 and so forth. S Infinity squared is still infinity. Each passenger can be thought of as a rational number, with the bus number in the numerator and the seat number in the denominator, and there are as many rational numbers as there are natural numbers. There are also as many prime numbers as there are natural numbers. So this is really the same problem as the previous one, where an infinite number of people showed up on foot, but with slightly trickier math for the desk manager. Poor guy. But not all infinities are the same.

    The fringes of knowledge Amok publishers specializes in collecting the finest of esoterica. Back before the Internet had everything, people with deviant tastes would have to rely on mail order catalogs such as Amok. It has published a compendium of bizarre books known as Dispatches since the 80s.
    I managed to bump into this book at the University library. I also wasted half a day savoring the ridiculous annotations and drawings. Here are some reviews that hype it:
    "The Amok catalog is required reading for all information junkies, mutants, lunatics and anybody else interested in exploring worlds and ideas never seen... A side effect of reading the Amok catalog is that it could make you reconsider the very nature of imagination, freedom and possibility." – San Francisco Chronicle
    "Amok is the research guide to all the sordid thoughts you'd never discuss at lunch... the index of all that we hold obscure, perverse, and dear." – Esquire "You think you're postmodern. You give to your local National Public Radio station. You write letters on behalf of prisoners of conscience. Jesse Helms makes your knee go into involuntary spasms. You are primed for First Amendment battles and believe you stand squarely on the side of the purists. Until you start to leaf through the Amok Fourth Dispatch." – Publisher's Weekly

    Raymond M. Smullyan, "Satan, Cantor, And Infinity and Other Mind-Boggling Puzzles"
    The author of What Is the Name of This Book? presents a compilation of more than two hundred challenging new logic puzzlesranging from simple brainteasers to complex mathematical paradoxes.
    Summary: To tell the truth...
    Rating: 5
    Raymond Smullyan has been described (by Martin Gardner, no less) as the most entertaining logician ever (lets leave aside the lack of competition here after all, Kurt Godel wasn't known to be a bundle of laughs, etc. ...). One of the points of logic is to figure out what lines of reasoning make sense, and what can be considered true and false, given the proper rules of rational thought and the right information.
    This can be done by means of equations, symbolic exions and linguistic tools, but this can be rather dry. A much more enjoyable means of learning to apply logical principles is through the kinds of puzzles presented by Smullyan. It is somewhat ironic story problems are the point of greatest dread among many mathematics students, yet the logic-equivalent of story problems are the most fun!
    Smullyan has written several books on logic puzzles, and often starts with the device of puzzles with figuring out who is telling the truth and who is lying here it starts on the island of Knights and Knaves, where Knights always tell the truth, and Knaves always tell lies. However, apart from this distinction, it is impossible to tell them apart. Smullyan presents the problems, and then presents the solutions, not in the back of the book or in a footnote, but as part of the narrative. It is a very natural and logical progression.
