6. The transfinite ordinals* 6.1. Beginnings
... This time we’ve used up just the natural numbers, and we find that 2.ω = ω 6= ω.2. Again, this method of defining ordinal multiplication is better for forming intuition, but the recursive method used in lectures is better for proving theorems.

76 Seventy-Six LXXVI
... The number 76 is a centered pentagonal number, as you can see. You can write 76 as a sum of distinct primes in exactly 76 ways. Is it the only number n that can be written as a sum of distinct primes in exactly n ways? The number 76 is an automorphic number because 762 = 5776 ends in 76. The next au ...

46 Forty-Six XLVI
... Corresponding ordinal: forty-sixth. The number 46 is the twenty-fourth even number and the thirty-first composite number. The number 46 is a centered triangular number, as you can see. As a product of primes: 46 = 2 23. The number 46 has four divisors: 1, 2, 23, 46. The number 46 is the thirty-sixth ...

ON HIERARCHIES AND SYSTEMS OF NOTATIONS
... Introduction. By a "system of notations" we understand a (1-1)mapping, M, from a set L (a segment of Cantor's second number class) onto a family, F, of disjoint nonempty sets. The members of F may be, for example, sets of expressions, e.g. such expressions as w, uX2, w2, €o, etc. Without loss of gen ...

82 Eighty-Two LXXXII
... The number 82 is the sixth magic number of nuclear physics. These are the numbers of protons or neutrons that seem to be particularly favored for nuclear stability. The first five are 2, 8, 20, 28, and 50. In Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Hocus Pocus, 82 is both the number of women the author has slept wit ...

CHAP10 Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers
... Proof: Suppose there is an ordinal α having a transitive subset which is not itself an ordinal, and suppose β is the least element of α+ which has such a subset. Then there is some X ⊆ β which is transitive but not an ordinal. Hence X is not well-ordered by ∈. Let 0 ≠ Y ⊆ X and suppose that it has ...

Ordinal Numbers
... Given a well ordered set (A, ≤) with ordinal k, the set of all ordinals < k is order-isomorphic to A Define an ordinal as the set of all ordinals less that itself. Example, 0 as { }, 1 as {0}, 2 as {0, 1}, 3 as {0, 1, 2}, k as {0, 1, …, k-1}[v] Every well ordered set is order-isomorphic to one and o ...

ordinals proof theory
... Theorem 2. If α is an element of ǫ0 , there exists a natural number k such that α < ω ↑ k. In [1], it is shown how to prove that ǫ0 is a well-order. This is obvious from the usual von Newman definition of ordinals. However, the proof in [1] is taken from the finitist point of view. Theorem 3. Every ...
