Section 2.3: Infinite sets and cardinality
... Thus the sets N and Z have the same cardinality. Maybe this is not so surprising, because these sets have a strong geometric resemblance as sets of points on the number line. What is more surprising is that N (and hence Z) has the same cardinality as the set Q of all rational numbers. These sets do ...

... If the object is moved from point A to point B, its new position can be described: a) in words: 3 units right of the origin O b) using an integer: +3 5.2 (Displacement) A change in position of the object is called displacement. The displacement of the object from the point A to the point B can be de ...
