Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the idea of how to construct transfinite numbers and study transfinite arithmetic. The research method used is a literature review, which involves collecting various sources such as scientific papers and books related to Cantorian set theory, infinity, ordinal or transfinite arithmetic, as well as the connection between infinity and theology. The study also involves constructing the objects of study, namely ordinal numbers such as finite ordinals and transfinite ordinals, and examining their arithmetic properties. The results of this research include t

Abstract:
In this paper I deal with two problems in mathematical philosophy: the (very old) question about the nature of infinity, and the possible answer to this question after Cantor’s theory of transfinite numbers. Cantor was the first to consider that his transfinite numbers theory allows to speak, within mathematics, of an actual infinite and allows to leave behind the Aristotelian statement that infinity exists only as potential infinity. In the first part of this paper I discuss Cantorian theory of transfinite numbers and his particular point of view about this matter. But the development of the

Abstract:
This research work presents the topic of infinite multisets, their basic properties and cardinality from a somewhat different perspective. In this work, a new property of multisets, ‘m-cardinality’, is defined using multiset functions. M-cardinality unifies and generalizes the definitions of cardinality, injection, bijection, and surjection to apply to multisets. M-cardinality takes into account both the number of distinct elements in a multiset and the number of copies of each element (i.e., the multiplicity of the elements). Based on m-cardinality, ‘m-cardinal numbers’ are defined as a gener

Abstract:
This paper begins an axiomatic development of naive set theory—the consequences of a full comprehension principle—in a paraconsistent logic. Results divide into two sorts. There is classical recapture, where the main theorems of ordinal and Peano arithmetic are proved, showing that naive set theory can provide a foundation for standard mathematics. Then there are major extensions, including proofs of the famous paradoxes and the axiom of choice (in the form of the well-ordering principle). At the end I indicate how later developments of cardinal numbers will lead to Cantor’s theorem, the exist

Abstract:
Abstract The conceptual clarification described in the previous chapter dispenses with infinitesimals. But that was not felt to be good enough: some account of the real numbers was also needed. This chapter first explains that need and presents the two best known accounts of real numbers. That is followed by a sketch of the way in which the ideas for the transfinite ordinal and cardinal number systems grew out of the study of classes of points, and the rudiments of those number systems are presented. Finally, we look at accounts of the natural numbers. This will complete an account of the nineteenth-century movement to clarify mathematical concepts and to place the accepted practices and theorems of mathematics on a sound footing.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the most surprising facts in the history of mathematics is that the logical foundation of the real number system was not erected until the late nineteenth century. Up to that time not even the simplest properties of positive and negative rational numbers and irrational numbers were logically established, nor were these numbers defined. Even the logical foundation of complex numbers had not been long in existence (Chap. 32, sec. 1), and that foundation presupposed the real number system. In view of the extensive development of algebra and analysis, all of which utilized the real numbers, the failure to consider the precise structure and properties of the real numbers shows how illogically mathematics progresses. The intuitive understanding of these numbers seemed adequate and mathematicians were content to operate on this basis.

Abstract:
Abstract Cantor was the first to discover class paradoxes, but they did not strike him as paradoxical. Rather, he took them to confirm a view he had come to years before, that some totalities cannot be treated as objects of mathematical study. In the course of developing the theory of infinite sets, in particular the theory of infinite ordinal and cardinal numbers that he had created,1 he naturally reflected on the totality of ordinal numbers and the totality of cardinal numbers, and he came to view them as importantly unlike other infinite totalities. It had been traditional to distinguish between finite and infinite, the former being increasable by addition, the latter not. Cantor challenged this tradition. Instead of a simple division into finite and infinite, Cantor’s theory led him to a tripartite classification: finite, transfinite, and absolutely infinite. A transfinite number is unlike a finite number in having infinitely many predecessors; but it is like a finite number in being increasable.

Abstract:
‘Counting infinity’ returns to the mathematics of infinity, discussing Cantor’s remarkable theory of how to count infinite sets, and the discovery that there are different sizes of infinity. For example, the set of all integers is infinite, and the set of all real numbers (infinite decimals) is infinite, but these infinities are fundamentally different, and there are more real numbers than integers. The ‘numbers’ here are called transfinite cardinals. For comparison, another way to assign numbers to infinite sets is mentioned, by placing them in order, leading to transfinite ordinals. It ends by asking whether the old philosophical distinction between actual and potential infinity is still relevant to modern mathematics, and examining the meaning of mathematical existence.

Abstract:
Abstract The totality n of transfinite numbers was first introduced in Cantor (1883) by means of the principle If the initial segment E of n is a set, then it has a least strict upper bound S(E) E n. Thus, for numbers a = S(E) and /3 = S(E’), a &amp;lt; /3 iff a E E’; a = /3 iff E = E’; 8(0) is the least number O (although Cantor himself took the least number to be 1); if E has a greatest element ‘Y, then a is its successor ‘Y +1; and if E is nonnull and has no greatest element, then a is the least upper bound of E. The problem with the definition, of course, is in determining what it means for an initial segment to be a set. Obviously, not all of them are; for the totality n of all numbers is an initial segment, but to admit it as a set would yield S(O) &amp;lt; S(O), contradicting the assumption that n is well-ordered by &amp;lt;. Cantor himself understood this already in 1883. In his earlier writings [e.g., (1882)], he had essentially defined a set “in some conceptual sphere” such as arithmetic or geometry, to be the extension of a well-defined property. But in these cases, he was considering sets of objects of some type A, where being an object of type A is itself not defined in terms of the notion of a set of objects of type A. But with his definition of the transfinite numbers, an entirely novel situation arises: the definition of n depends on the notion of a subset of n. Accordingly, he abandoned his earlier definition of set in (1883), and in his later writings, he distinguished between those initial segments which are sets and those which are not in terms of his concept of “consistent multiplicity”; but that is just naming the problem, not solving it.
