- In mathematics,
transfinite numbers or
infinite numbers are
numbers that are "infinite" in the
sense that they are
larger than all
finite numbers. These...

Transfinite induction is an
extension of
mathematical induction to well-ordered sets, for
example to sets of
ordinal numbers or
cardinal numbers. Its...

importance of well-ordering is
justified by the
