The cardinality of the prime numbers |
2009-11-07 |
|
Justin pose la question : Hello there, I was just wondering since the number of primes is infinite,
are they equal to infinity or Aleph-null?

Cardinality of infinite sets |

Brian pose la question : I was reading an answer to a question on your site regarding infinite sets (http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.01/carlos1.html), and I think they may have got the answer wrong.
I his example, he claims that the set of real numbers BETWEEN 0 AND 1 is larger than the set of positive integers.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe those two sets are -- pardon the expression -- equally infinite. For any integer, there is a corresponding real number between 0 and 1, and vice versa.
For instance, using the decimal as a "mirror", you can create a mirror image of any real number between 0 and 1 as an integer (i.e. 0.1234 gets mirrored as the integer 4321 -- I could write it out algebraically, if you want, but you get my point)
Am I wrong?
Thanks,

Justin pose la question : Hello again, I was also just wondering (in Hilbert Space and Function Space) are there infinite-dimensional spaces larger than each other in terms of cardinality? Thanks a lot for your help again!
All the Best,

Tania pose la question :
- Show that the cardinality of P(X) (the power set of X) is equal to the cardinality of the set of all functions from X into {0,1}.
- Show that (the cardinality of the natural numbers set) |N| = |NxNxN|.
- Show that the cardinality of the set of prime numbers is the same as the cardinality of N+

Infinite sets |

Brian Provost pose la question : Here's the deal: There are an infinite amount of integers (1,2,3...). Agreed? There are an infinite amount of even integers, too (2,4,6...). Agreed? By convention, infinity equals infinity. Yet common sense tells us there are obviously more integers than there are even integers. Prove this to be true mathematically. Harley Weston lui répond. |
