>I yell at him that putting an adjective in front of a noun does not in itself make a mathematical concept. Cantor who turned mathematics into a bad joke declared that an infinite set is a set which is not finite. Its like declaring that an all-seing leprechaun is a leprechaun which can see everything. These grammatical constructions do not create concepts, excepts perhaps in a literary or poetic sense.

Honestly I need to read Cantor (and not internet posts, wikipedia, or even secondary sources). Certain things about infinity have bother me for a long time. Namely we use the word to describe completely different concepts (like a never ending summation vs a repeating decimal) and pretend it is the same fucking concept. I don't think Cantor looked at what I care about, but sets are important, and he obviously is hugely influential.

All you need to read about is ZFC. Cantor has the ideas and intuitions

Because infinite series are series which has more elements than final limits,... Apologize to your profesor.

That class grew up to be Jesus Christ. I grew up to be Anne Frank. Oh, and that professor's name? Joseph Stalin.

Cannot be a series if there's no beginning and end. It cannot be separated into finite parts like series because that creates a beginning and end.

Jesus you are that retard from the other thread who thinks infinity has anything to do with "beginning and end" kys
