Abstract In section 1, the concept of a category is briefly described. In section 2, it is elaborated how the concept of category is naturally intertwined with the existence of a universe of discourse much larger than what is otherwise sufficient for a large part of mathematics. It is also remarked that the extended universe for the category of sets is adequate for the category of multisets as well. In section 3, fundamentals required for adequately describing a category are extended to defining a multiset category, and some of its distinctive features are outlined.

  • Cantor, God, and Inconsistent Multiplicities*
    STUDIES IN LOGIC, GRAMMAR AND RHETORIC 44 (57) 2016 DOI: 10.1515/slgr-2016-0008 Aaron R. Thomas-Bolduc University of Calgary CANTOR, GOD, AND INCONSISTENT MULTIPLICITIES* Abstract. The importance of Georg Cantor’s religious convictions is often ne- glected in discussions of his mathematics and metaphysics. Herein I argue, pace Jan´e(1995), that due to the importance of Christianity to Cantor, he would have never thought of absolutely infinite collections/inconsistent multiplicities, as being merely potential, or as being purely mathematical entities. I begin by considering and rejecting two arguments due to Ignacio Jan´e based on letters to Hilbert and the generating principles for ordinals, respectively, showing that my reading of Cantor is consistent with that evidence. I then argue that evidence from Cantor’s later writings shows that he was still very religious later in his career, and thus would not have given up on the reality of the absolute, as that would imply an imperfection on the part of God. The theological acceptance of his set theory was very important to Can- tor. Despite this, the influence of theology on his conception of absolutely infinite collections, or inconsistent multiplicities, is often ignored in contem- porary literature.1 I will be arguing that due in part to his religious convic- tions, and despite an apparent tension between his earlier and later writings, Cantor would never have considered inconsistent multiplicities (similar to what we now call proper classes) as completed in a mathematical sense, though they are completed in Intellectus Divino. Before delving into the issue of the actuality or otherwise of certain infinite collections, it will be informative to give an explanation of Cantor’s terminology, as well a sketch of Cantor’s relationship with religion and reli- gious figures.

  • Sets - June 24 Chapter 1 - Sets and Functions
    Math 300 - Introduction to Mathematical reasoning Summer 2013 Lecture 1: Sets - June 24 Chapter 1 - Sets and Functions Definition and Examples Sets are a \well-defined” collection of objects. We shall not say what we mean by \well-defined” in this course. At an introductory level, it suffices to think of a Set as a collection of objects. Some examples of sets are - • Collection of students taking Math 300, • Collection of all possible speeds that your car can attain, • Collection of all matrices with real entries (Math 308). Examples We mention some mathematical examples which we shall use throughout the course. Keep these examples in mind. • N - the set of natural numbers. Here, N = f1; 2; 3;:::; g • Z - the set of integers. Here, Z = f;:::; −3; −2; −1; 0; 1; 2; 3;:::; g • Q - the set of rational numbers. The set of rational numbers can described as fractions, where the numerator and denominator of the fraction are both integers and the denominator is not equal to zero. • R - the set of real numbers. • R+ - the set of positive real numbers. The objects of the set are called elements, members or points of the set. Usually a set is denoted by a capital letter. The elements of the set are denoted by lowercase letters. The symbol 2 denotes the phrase \belongs to". Let A be a set and let x be an element of the set A. The statement x 2 A should be read as x belongs to the set A. For example, the statement \1 2 N" should be read as \1 belongs to the set of natural numbers".

  • On the Learning Benefits of Confidence-Weighted Testing
    Sparck et al. Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (2016) 1:3 Cognitive Research: Principles DOI 10.1186/s41235-016-0003-x and Implications ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access On the learning benefits of confidence- weighted testing Erin M. Sparck*, Elizabeth Ligon Bjork and Robert A. Bjork Abstract Taking multiple-choice practice tests with competitive incorrect alternatives can enhance performance on related but different questions appearing on a later cued-recall test (Little et al., Psychol Sci 23:1337–1344, 2012). This benefit of multiple-choice testing, which does not occur when the practice test is a cued-recall test, appears attributable to participants attempting to retrieve not only why the correct alternative is correct but also why the other alternatives are incorrect. The present research was designed to examine whether a confidence-weighted multiple-choice format in which test-takers were allowed to indicate their relative confidence in the correctness of one alternative compared with the others (Bruno, J Econ Educ 20:5–22, 1989; Bruno, Item banking: Interactive testing and self-assessment: Volume 112 of NATO ASI Series, pp. 190–209, 1993) might increase the extent to which participants engaged in such productive retrievals. In two experiments, such confidence-weighted practice tests led to greater benefits in the ability of test-takers to answer new but related questions than did standard multiple-choice practice tests. These results point to ways to make multiple-choice testing a more powerful tool for learning. Keywords:

  • Review of Set-Theoretic Notations and Terminology A.J
    Math 347 Review of Set-theoretic Notations and Terminology A.J. Hildebrand Review of Set-theoretic Notations and Terminology • Sets: A set is an unordered collection of objects, called the elements of the set. The standard notation for a set is the brace notation f::: g, with the elements of the set listed inside the pair of braces. • Set builder notation: Notation of the form f::: : ::: g, where the colon (:) has the meaning of \such that", the dots to the left of the colon indicate the generic form of the element in the set and the dots to 2 the right of the colon denote any constraints on the element. E.g., fx 2 R : x < 4g stands for \the set of 2 all x 2 R such that x < 4"; this is the same as the interval (−2; 2). Other examples of this notation are f2k : k 2 Zg (set of all even integers), fx : x 2 A and x 2 Bg (intersection of A and B, A \ B). 2 Note: Instead of a colon (:), one can also use a vertical bar (j) as a separator; e.g., fx 2 R j x < 4g. Both notations are equally acceptable. • Equality of sets: Two sets are equal if they contain the same elements. E.g., the sets f3; 4; 7g, f4; 3; 7g, f3; 3; 4; 7g are all equal since they contain the same three elements, namely 3, 4, 7. • Some special sets: • Empty set: ; (or fg) • \Double bar" sets: 1 ∗ Natural numbers: N = f1; 2;::: g (note that 0 is not an element of N) ∗ Integers: Z = f:::; −2; −1; 0; 1; 2;::: g ∗ Rational numbers: Q = fp=q : p; q 2 Z; q 6= 0g ∗ Real numbers: R • Intervals: ∗ Open interval: (a; b) = fx 2 R : a < x < bg ∗ Closed interval: [a; b] = fx 2 R : a ≤ x ≤ bg ∗ Half-open interval: [a; b) = fx 2 R : a ≤ x < bg • Universe: U (\universe", a \superset" of which all sets under consideration are assumed to be a subset).

Meta-Meta Workshop, Shanghai June 15, 2013 Joel David Hamkins, New York The universe view The multiverse view Dream Solution of CH is unattainable Further topics Multiverse Mathematics Set theory as Ontological Foundation A traditional view in set theory is that it serves as an ontological foundation for the rest of mathematics, in the sense that other abstract mathematical objects can be construed fundamentally as sets. On this view, mathematical objects—functions, real numbers, spaces—are sets. Being precise in mathematics amounts to specifying an object in set theory. In this way, the set-theoretic universe becomes the realm of all mathematics. Having a common foundation was important for the unity of mathematics. A weaker position remains compatible with structuralism.

  • Set Notation and Concepts
    Appendix Set Notation and Concepts “In mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.” John von Neumann (1903–1957) This appendix is primarily a brief run-through of basic concepts from set theory, but it also in Sect. A.4 mentions set equations, which are not always covered when introducing set theory. A.1 Basic Concepts and Notation A set is a collection of items. You can write a set by listing its elements (the items it contains) inside curly braces. For example, the set that contains the numbers 1, 2 and 3 can be written as {1, 2, 3}. The order of elements do not matter in a set, so the same set can be written as {2, 1, 3}, {2, 3, 1} or using any permutation of the elements. The number of occurrences also does not matter, so we could also write the set as {2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1} or in an infinity of other ways. All of these describe the same set. We will normally write sets without repetition, but the fact that repetitions do not matter is important to understand the operations on sets. We will typically use uppercase letters to denote sets and lowercase letters to denote elements in a set, so we could write M ={2, 1, 3} and x = 2 as an element of M. The empty set can be written either as an empty list of elements ({})orusing the special symbol ∅. The latter is more common in mathematical texts. A.1.1 Operations and Predicates We will often need to check if an element belongs to a set or select an element from a set.

  • 2.5. INFINITE SETS Now That We Have Covered the Basics of Elementary
    2.5. INFINITE SETS Now that we have covered the basics of elementary set theory in the previous sections, we are ready to turn to infinite sets and some more advanced concepts in this area. Shortly after Georg Cantor laid out the core principles of his new theory of sets in the late 19th century, his work led him to a trove of controversial and groundbreaking results related to the cardinalities of infinite sets. We will explore some of these extraordinary findings, including Cantor’s eponymous theorem on power sets and his famous diagonal argument, both of which imply that infinite sets come in different “sizes.” We also present one of the grandest problems in all of mathematics – the Continuum Hypothesis, which posits that the cardinality of the continuum (i.e. the set of all points on a line) is equal to that of the power set of the set of natural numbers. Lastly, we conclude this section with a foray into transfinite arithmetic, an extension of the usual arithmetic with finite numbers that includes operations with so-called aleph numbers – the cardinal numbers of infinite sets. If all of this sounds rather outlandish at the moment, don’t be surprised. The properties of infinite sets can be highly counter-intuitive and you may likely be in total disbelief after encountering some of Cantor’s theorems for the first time. Cantor himself said it best: after deducing that there are just as many points on the unit interval (0,1) as there are in n-dimensional space1, he wrote to his friend and colleague Richard Dedekind: “I see it, but I don’t believe it!” The Tricky Nature of Infinity Throughout the ages, human beings have always wondered about infinity and the notion of uncountability.
