Cantor introduced the concept of [[cardinal number|cardinality]] to compare the sizes of infinite sets, and he showed that the set of [[integer]]s is strictly smaller than the set of [[real number]]s. The continuum hypothesis states the following:

| | |
| :<math>\nexists \mathbb{A}: \aleph_0 < |\mathbb{A}| < 2^{\aleph_0}.</math>
