Measurable cardinal

In mathematics, a measurable cardinal is a certain kind of large cardinal number. In order to define the concept, one introduces a two-valued measure on a cardinal κ, or more generally on any set. For a cardinal κ, it can be described as a subdivision of all of its subsets into large and small sets such that κ itself is large, ∅ and all singletons {α}, α ∈ κ are small, complements of small sets are large and vice versa. The intersection of fewer than κ large sets is again large. It turns out that uncountable cardinals endowed with a two-valued measure are large cardinals whose existence cannot be proved from ZFC. The concept of a measurable cardinal was introduced by Stanislaw Ulam in 1930. (Wikipedia).

Finding Cardinalities of Sets | Set Theory

Let's find the cardinality of some simple sets in set builder notation! Recall the cardinality of a set is simply the number of elements it contains. We'll write some sets that have been given in set builder notation and identify their cardinalities. We also briefly discuss the cardinality

What is the Cardinality of a Set? | Set Theory, Empty Set

What is the cardinality of a set? In this video we go over just that, defining cardinality with examples both easy and hard. To find the cardinality of a set, you need only to count the elements in the set. The cardinality of the empty set is 0, the cardinality of the set A = {0, 1, 2} is

BM9.2. Cardinality 2: Infinite Sets

Basic Methods: We continue the study of cardinality with infinite sets. First the class of countably infinite sets is considered, and basic results given. Then we give examples of uncountable sets using Cantor diagonalization arguments.
