Cantor's first set theory article contains Georg Cantor's first theorems of transfinite set theory, which studies infinite sets and their properties....

{\displaystyle \beth _{1}=\aleph _{1}} . The continuum hypothesis was advanced by Georg Cantor in 1878, and establishing its truth or falsehood is the first of Hilbert's...

and is therefore a measure of size of the set. Since the discovery by Georg Cantor, in the late 19th century, of different sizes of infinite sets, the term...

points may be located. The mathematical study of infinite sets began with Georg Cantor (1845–1918). This provided some counterintuitive facts and paradoxes...

a naive set theory. It was created at the end of the 19th century by Georg Cantor as part of his study of infinite sets and developed as a formal but inconsistent...

In mathematics, a Cantor cube is a topological group of the form {0, 1}A for some index set A. Its algebraic and topological structures are the group direct...
