WE TRUE TABLECATS
WE SIT TOGETHER
WE SIT TOGETHER ON A TABLE
send this TABLECAT to everyone you care about including me if you care. Count how many times you get this, if you 1000GET, then you're A TRUE TABLECAT!

[4:25] Rational numbers as a countable infinity
1 Name: MathMajor : 2004-12-27 13:40
This past semester I took the first halves of Introduction to Analysis and Modern (Abstract) Algebra in which, naturally, we covered the basics of the cardinalities of infinities. I understand the concepts of what makes something countable verses uncountable. I simply have an intuitive problem with the fact that the rational numbers are countable. The other basics countable infinite sets (Integers, Evens, Odds, Natural Numbers, etc.) all sit well with me. For some reason, I just have a problem accepting that the Rationals are truly countable. I understand that a definition is not arguable, but it just does not feel right.
Part of my discontent lies in the fact that like the continueum, there is no smallest positive rational number. This is not true for the previously mentioned sets. I feel that the rationals are somehow set apart from this set. If I recall correctly, it was proven that "It cannot be proven nor disproven that there exists an infinite set whose cardinality is greater than the cardinality of the countable infinite sets and less than the cardinality of the continueum (the reals)."
If anyone knows where I may be able to find more information on this, or even has an answer to my dilemma, please let me know. Thanks!

But how are they less than the infinite complex numbers.

They are both countable, just the rationals are not well order with the operator (<)
Imagine it this way, if we define every even integer n to have "size" 1/n, and then ordered to integers according to this definition we have this list:
....10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.......
there is no least, and no greatest number, very much resembling the rationals.
There are ways of ordering the rationals such that there is a "least member" just that the ordering isn't using the operator (<)
The fact that they have equal cardinality is obvious consider the injection f from Q to Z
