Abstract
In Chap. 20 we defined what it means for a sequence to have an infinite limit. In this chapter we discuss a different aspect of the intriguing concept of infinity; namely, as promised in Chap. 21, we study sets of infinite size. As we will soon see, not all infinite sets are created equal: some are “larger” (“much larger”) than others.
