Read a proof, retard

>>12590053
sets have the same cardinality if a bijection exists between the sets
it's easy to see that you can do this between these sets
regardless your image is retarded, 0 is a natural number, and it is a number you use to count with

Why is /sci/ so filtered by infinity? I would of thought /sci/ would love the schizo nature of it. Why do they suddenly attack one of the very rare cases where schizo bullshit was vindicated?

>>12590170
/sci/ is filled with a bunch of contrarian failures who think contradicting the expert consensus makes them intelligent

>>12590170
infinity is a schizophrenic delusion

no it's not

Not by most mathematicians' convention.

0 is a natural number
without 0, the natural numbers are not a monoid under addition, nor a group or a ring under addition and multiplication. with 0 it is all of these.
moreover, you need 0 to construct the natural numbers, as each non-zero natural number is the successor of a non-zero natural number or zero, it's there perverse to exclude zero from the natural numbers.
>>12591835
most mathematicians do consider 0 a natural number. look up the first peano axiom retard.

Another advantage of including zero is that then the cardinality of any finite set is in the natural numbers.
Also, if you consider natural numbers "counting numbers", then it should include zero since you use zero to count (for example, if you count how many women you've slept with you get zero)

>if you count how many women you've slept with you get zero
This argument is either too much or not enough. Indeed, if you have gay sex you need to close your counting set under inverses, and if you take into account trannies, you need full-blown algebraic completion.

No, it’s not a group without additive inverses, it’s only a semigroup you retard
