Who discovered the science of infinity?
Many mathematicians have worked on the mathematics of infinity. Leibniz, Frege, Dedekind, Cantor, Hilbert are some.
Mathematician who was fascinated with infinite numbers?
georg cantor
What did georg cantor contribute to math?
· Cantor was the first mathematician to put a firm logical foundation for the term "infinity," and described a way to do arithmetic with infinite quantities useful to mathematics. He stated that a collection is infinite, if some of its parts are as big as the whole. Cantor also was able to demonstrate that there are different sizes of infinity. · Cantor revolutionized the foundation of mathematics with set theory. o One to One Correspondence: He showed that you could make a one-to-one correspondence between the natural numbers § (1, 2, 3, 4, ... } and the integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...} o Continuum Hypothesis: The cardinality of the set of all subsets of any set is strictly greater than the cardinality of the set o For any set A, cardinality(powerset(A))>carinality(A) · Transfinite numbers o Used to count the number of integers and the number of real numbers
Who is the founder of set theory and concept of infinite and cardinal numbers?
George Cantor.
Who showed relation between real numbers and points on line?
Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor.
