At least in a practical way, if not with formal precision. In fact, Berkeley was one of the few to point to the deeper problems of calculus. But mathematicians were hardly going to worry about the objections of a philosopher. They had work to do developing the implications of the calculus. Freud born in 1856, Russell in 1872, Jung in 1875. Which was to be complemented by a proof by mathematician Paul Cohen in 1963. This will all be discussed later in this chapter.

Four basic aspects of set theory Cantor's Diagonal Argument : Uncountable sets The Basic Axioms of Set Theory (ZFC) Interpretability of Mathematics inside Set Theory The Independence of the Continuum Hypothesis and extensions of ZFC ( I ) Cantor's Diagonal Argument ("Diagonalverfahren") : Uncountable Sets Now we can apply this diagonalization procedure (switching diagonal entries from to 1 and vice versa) to an infinite table which has rows and columns for every natural number. Given any sequence B(0), B(1), B(2), ..., B(n), ... of subsets of the natural numbers N we can build such a table: Fill row number n with the infinite sequence representing B(n). Now build D as before by switching the infinite diagonal of the infinite table. Again it follows that D is not represented by any row of the table, i.e., D is different from every B(n). (It is easy to see that n is an element of D if and only if n is not an element of B(n): This gives a neat definition of D, but a table as above is better for visualizing D.) We have just proven one of the most important theorems of set theory: A sequence B(0), B(1), ..., B(n), ... of subsets of

Extractions: A theorem of the great mathematician, Pappus of Alexandria, makes a beautiful connection between algebra and geometry that we explore in this article. We start with a geometric structure and impose certain postulates and theorems to determine an algebraic structure of an abstract coordinate set. Then we prove that Pappus' theorem is sufficient for commutativity of multiplication there. It can also be proved that it is necessary. At the end of the article we examine a host of horizons opened by Pappus' theorem and provide a substantial resouce list for further exploration. A Curious Connection Between Fermat Numbers and Finite Groups The authors were investigating finite groups possessing a property related to certain subsets of the group, when suddenly the problem became entangled in number theory. The shocking conclusion is that the solution to a large part of the group theory problem is a direct consequence of the fact that the Fermat number 2 +1 is not prime.
