In summary: suppose the interval (0, 1) is countable, then there is an enumeration (a countable sequence) which includes every number in (0, 1), but for any enumeration of (0, 1) you can construct a number in (0, 1) which is not in the enumeration, which is a contradiction.

Theorem 1: The set of numbers in the interval, $[0, 1]$, is uncountable. That is, there exists no bijection from $\mathbb{N}$ to $[0, 1]$ . The argument in the proof below is sometimes called a "Diagonalization Argument", and is used in many instances to prove certain sets are uncountable.

In mathematics, a set is countable if either it is finite or it can be made in one to one correspondence with the set of natural numbers.

2024年7月11日 · The set of real numbers R is uncountably infinite. We prove the equivalent result that every sequence xk k ∈ N omits at least one x ∈ R. Let xk k ∈ N be a sequence of distinct real numbers. Let a sequence of closed real intervals In be defined as follows: Let: Since the terms of xk k ∈ N are distinct, ak ≠ bk. Thus Ik is not a singleton. Let:

The real numbers are not countable. Cardinality is how many elements in a set. ℵ 0 (aleph-null) is the cardinality of the counting numbers, c (or continuum) is the cardinality of the real numbers.

2024年5月1日 · No, the set of real numbers is not countable. It is uncountably infinite, which means there is no one-to-one correspondence between real numbers and natural numbers. This result is known as the "uncountability of the real numbers."

2024年10月8日 · No. Some infinite sets, such as the set of natural numbers (N), integers (Z), and rational numbers (Q), are countably infinite, meaning they can still be listed. Is the set of real numbers countable? No, the set of real numbers (R) is uncountable.

You could then form a set of all real numbers by 'appending' 0, and increment all the other natural number bindings by 1. At this point, you would have uniquely assigned a natural number to every real number, making the set of real numbers countable.

We use standard notation A B for the intersection of two (or more) sets, = {x : x ∈ A and x ∈ B} = {x : x A ∈ or x ∈ B} = {x : x ∈ X, x /∈ A} If A ⊂ B and B ⊂ A, we say A = B (indeed, it is often easiest to prove that two sets are equal by proving these two steps).
