equinumerosity
1Equinumerosity — In the field of mathematics, two sets A and B are equinumerous if they have the same cardinality, i.e., if there exists a bijection f : A → B . This is usually denoted:A approx B , or A sim B.The study of cardinality is often called… …

3Logicism — is one of the schools of thought in the philosophy of mathematics, putting forth the theory that mathematics is an extension of logic and therefore some or all mathematics is reducible to logic.[1] Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead… …
4Cardinality — In mathematics, the cardinality of a set is a measure of the number of elements of the set . For example, the set A = {1, 2, 3} contains 3 elements, and therefore A has a cardinality of 3. There are two approaches to cardinality ndash; one which… …
5Set-theoretic definition of natural numbers — Several ways have been proposed to define the natural numbers using set theory.The contemporary standardIn standard (ZF) set theory the natural numbersare defined recursively by 0 = {} (the empty set) and n +1 = n ∪ { n }. Then n = {0,1,..., n… …
6Cardinal number — This article describes cardinal numbers in mathematics. For cardinals in linguistics, see Names of numbers in English. In mathematics, cardinal numbers, or cardinals for short, are generalized numbers used to measure the cardinality (size) of… …
7Equivalence relation — In mathematics, an equivalence relation is a binary relation between two elements of a set which groups them together as being equivalent in some way. Let a , b , and c be arbitrary elements of some set X . Then a b or a ≡ b denotes that a is… …
8Where Mathematics Comes From — Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being (hereinafter WMCF ) is a book by George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist, and Rafael E. Núñez, a psychologist. Published in 2000, WMCF seeks to found a cognitive… …
9Cardinal assignment — In set theory, the concept of cardinality is significantly developable without recourse to actually defining cardinal numbers as objects in theory itself (this is in fact a viewpoint taken by Frege; Frege cardinals are basically equivalence… …
10New Foundations — In mathematical logic, New Foundations (NF) is an axiomatic set theory, conceived by Willard Van Orman Quine as a simplification of the theory of types of Principia Mathematica. Quine first proposed NF in a 1937 article titled New Foundations for …
