Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers (Paperback)

"In it, Jourdain outlines the contributions of many of Cantor s forerunners including Fourier, Dirichlet, Cauchy, Weierstrass, Riemann, Dedekind, and Hankel and then further contextualizes Cantor s groundbreaking theory by recounting and examining his earlier work. In this volume, Cantor addresses: the addition and multiplication of powers the exponentiation of powers the finite cardinal numbers the smallest transfinite cardinal number aleph-zero addition and multiplication of ordinal types well-ordered aggregates the ordinal numbers of well-ordered aggregates and much more. German mathematician GEORG CANTOR (1845-1918) is best remembered for formulating set theory. His work was considered controversial at the time, but today he is widely recognized for his important contributions to the field of mathematics."
