WEEK 7
M: Holiday.
W: Completion of the proof of Goodstein Theorem. Equinumerosity.
1.59. Definition. Equinumerosity, \preceq
1.60. Remark. Comparing the cardinalities using
injections and surjections.
1.61. Remark. Defining cardinalities using the
foundation axiom.
1.62. Remark. Basic cardinal arithmetic: ({0}×
A) U ({1}× B), A × B, BA, infinite disjoint unions
and products.
1.63. Proposition. Basic formulas in cardinal
arithmetic:
(a) Addition and
Multiplication are commutative and associative.
(b) Multiplication
is distributive w.r.t. addition/unions.
(c) BuCA
~ BA × CA if B,C are disjoint.
(d) C(A
× B) ~ CA × CB.
(e) B×CA
~ B(CA).
1.64. Notation. The characteristic funtion of
a subset of a set. Observation: P(A) ~ A{0,1}.
F: No lecture. Make up will be on Fri Nov 3 at 8:00am.
