Infinity: The Twilight Zone of Mathematics.
Love, William P.
Mathematics Teacher, v82 n4 p284-92 Apr 1989
The theorems and proofs presented are designed to enhance student understanding of the theory of infinity as developed by Cantor and others. Three transfinite numbers are defined to express the cardinality of infinite algebraic sets, infinite sets of geometric points and infinite sets of functions. (DC)
