3.4 Cardinality Definition 3.7: The empty set is a finite set

of cardinality 0. If there is a one-to-one correspondence between A and the set {0,1,2,3,…, n-1}, then A is a finite set of cardinality n.

Definition 3.8: A set A is countably infinite if there is a one-to-one correspondence between A and the set N of natural number. We write |A|=|N|=0. A set is countable if it is finite or countably infinite.

The set Q of rational number is countably infinite, i.e. |Q|=|N|=0.

|[0 , 1]| 0. Theorem 3.13: The R of real numbers is

not countably infinite. And |R|=|[0 , 1]|. Theorem 3.14: The power set P(N) of the

set N of natural number is not countably infinite. And |P(N)|=|R|=1.

3.5 Paradox 1.Russell’s paradox AA, AA 。 Russell’s paradox: Let S={A|AA}. The

question is, does SS? i.e. SS or SS? If SS, If SS, The statements " SS " and " SS "

cannot both be true, thus the contradiction.

2.Cantor’s paradox 1899,Cantor's paradox, sometimes called

the paradox of the greatest cardinal, expresses what its second name would imply--that there is no cardinal larger than every other cardinal.

Let S be the set of all sets. |S|?|P (S)| or |P (S)|?|(S)|

one of the boxes contains r or more of the objects 。

Example 6:Two disks, one smaller than the other, are each divided into 200 congruent sectors. In the larger disk 100 of the sectors are chosen arbitrarily and painted red; the other 100 of the sectors are painted blue. In the smaller disk each sector is painted either red or blue with no stipulation on the number of red and blue sectors. The small disk is then placed on the larger disk so that their centers coincide. Show that it is possible to align the two disks so that the number of sectors of the small disk whose color matches the corresponding sector of the large disk is at least 100.

if the large disk is fixed in place there are 200 possible positions for the small disk such that

each sector of the small disk is contained in a sector of the large disk.

color matches the corresponding 20000/200=100>100-1 Position with at least 100 color matches

For each k=1,2, …, n2+1 let mk be the length of the longest increasing subsequence which begins with ak.

Let mk1=mk2=…=mk(n+1)(1k1<k2<…<kn+1n2+1). mk1 ak1, mk2 ak2, … mk(n+1) ak(n+1), ak1,ak2,…,ak(n+1)(1k1<k2<…<kn+1n2+1) Now show that is a decreasing subsequence
