Remarks about Cantor's Theorem

Schmid College, Chapman University via YouTube

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking lecture on Cantor's Theorem presented by Giuseppe Rosolini, Ph.D., from the University of Genoa as part of the Orange County Inland Empire (OCIE) Seminar series in History and Philosophy of Mathematics. Delve into the historical context and mathematical significance of Cantor's work, comparing his 1890 theorem on infinite cardinalities with his earlier 1874 result. Examine the evolution of Cantor's approach, from a technical lemma about transcendental numbers to a more abstract proof of distinct infinite cardinalities. Gain insights into how Cantor's second approach applies to various paradoxical situations in mathematics. Engage with this hybrid-format seminar, hosted by Chapman University's Schmid College of Science and Technology, which bridges historical and philosophical perspectives on mathematics.
