Georg Cantor (born March 3, 1845, St. Petersburg, Russia—died January 6, 1918, Halle, Germany) was a German mathematician who founded set theory and introduced the mathematically meaningful concept of transfinite numbers, indefinitely large but distinct from one another.
Georg Cantor was an outstanding mathematician and violinist born in Saint Petersburg who founded Set Theory.
Georg Cantor was a Russian-born mathematician who can be considered as the founder of set theory and introduced the concept of infinite numbers with his discovery of cardinal numbers. He also advanced the study of trigonometric series.
Georg Cantor was a German mathematician who made significant advances in set theory. He was often unpopular with his fellows who objected to the revolutionary nature of his work, but he brushed aside their criticisms.
Georg Cantor is a name that resonates deeply in the world of mathematics, not only because of his revolutionary work in set theory but also because of the philosophical implications his discoveries had on the concept of infinity.
Georg Cantor astonished the mathematical world with his discovery that the integers and the real numbers cannot be placed into one-to-one onto correspondance, showing that there is not just one infinity but at least two infinities: countable infinity and uncountable infinity.
History of logic - Georg Cantor, Set Theory, Mathematics: A development in Germany originally completely distinct from logic but later to merge with it was Georg Cantor’s development of set theory.
Georg Cantor (1845–1918) Georg Cantor is the mathematician who introduced us to the notion of set theory, concept taught today even at upper primary school level. It was Cantor who dared to bring the notion of infinity into mainstream mathematics and make it.
