1) Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor was a German mathematician who invented the set theory or the fundamental theory. He stated that why the importance of one to one correspondence is very necessary for member of two sets which can be like real numbers, infinite numbers, well ordered sets, natural numbers etc. Cantor proved this theory is based on existence of infinity. He states that all cardinal and ordinal numbers are arithmetic. Cantor theory of transfinite numbers was challenge to the uniqueness of the absolute infinity. Cantor’s proof was that the algebraic numbers are countable and the transcend numbers are uncountable. But this theory harsh criticism but still became an integral part of world....
