	Wikipedia: Continuum hypothesis
		In mathematics, the continuum hypothesis is a hypothesis about the possible sizes of infinite sets.
		The generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH) states that if an infinite set's cardinality lies between that of an infinite set S and that of the power set of S, then it either has the same cardinality as the set S or the same cardinality as the power set of S: there are no in-betweens.
		This is a generalization of the continuum hypothesis since the continuum has the same cardinality as the power set of the integers.

		Somewhat more generally a continuum is a linearly ordered set that is "densely ordered", i.e., between any two members there is another, and lacks gaps, i.e., every non-empty subset with an upper bound has a least upper bound.
		By that definition, the long line is a continuum, as are various other sets besides the real line.
		The continuum hypothesis is sometimes stated by saying that no cardinality lies between that of the continuum and that of the natural numbers.

		The history of mathematics and science integration in American schools can be illustrated through the use of a continuum which runs from math for math 's sake at one end to science for science 's sake at the other.
		The Professional Standardsfor Teaching Mathematics state, "The content is unquestionably a crucial consideration in appraising the value of a particular task," and this aspect cannot be neglected merely for the sake of integration (NCTM, 1991).
		One lesson which simultaneously teaches science and mathematics concepts can be developed around the question, "Why is the half-life of a radioactive element not dependent on the amount of the element initially present?" This lesson develops mathematical concepts related to exponential functions and probability and science concepts related to radioactive decay and radon pollution.

		Of course one must eventually bite the bullet and consider the continuum limit, but this can now be done after the basic equations and the physical phenomena they describe are understood, in such a way that one's understanding of the elegant theory and the physical phenomenology does not depend on imperfectly understood continuum concepts.
		But if one thinks about how the derivatives in continuum equations are defined (as limits of discrete differences), it is at least as reasonable to regard the discrete equations as fundamental, with the continuum equations being derived from them by letting the grid spacing approach zero.
		The question is academic in any event; from the point of view of pedagogy the choice is between beginning with the abstract (differential equations) and proceeding to the concrete (simulations using discrete equations describing direct cause-and-effect relationships between neighboring electric and magnetic fields) or beginning with the concrete and proceeding to the abstract.

		Brown and Wall (1976) presented a similar view of science and mathematics integration, in which mathematics and science (on opposite ends of the continuum) are taught for their own sake, science is driven by math; math is driven by science; or science and mathematics are in concert with each other.
		For example, mathematics is sequential, and adding mathematics concepts here and there in the curriculum could confuse students if they do not have prerequisite knowledge and skills.

		However, it turns out that the rational numbers can be placed in one-to-one correspondencewith the integers, and therefore the set of rational numbers is the same size as the set of integers: they are both countable sets.
		The continuum hypothesis states that every subset of the continuum (= the real numbers) which contains the integers either has the same cardinality as theintegers or the same cardinality as the continuum.
		Kurt Gödel showed in 1940 that the continuum hypothesis (CH for short)cannot be disproved from the standard Zermelo-Fraenkel settheory axiom system, even if the axiom of choice is adopted.

		This book presents an introduction to the classical theories of continuum mechanics; in particular, to the theories of ideal, compressible, and viscous fluids, and to the linear and nonlinear theories of elasticity.
		These theories are important, not only because they are applicable to a majority of the problems in continuum mechanics arising in practice, but because they form a solid base upon which one can readily construct more complex theories of material behavior.
		This is a classic book in continuum mechanics, for many reasons including those given by the reviewer from Leipzig (it also provides a unique and rigorous treatment of certain mathematical concepts that are not presented well in undergraduate level mathematics texts).

		Under the influence of axiomatic and bookish traditions, man perceived in discontinuity the first mathematical Being: "God created the integers and the rest is the work of man." This maxim spoken by the algebraist Kronecker reveals more about his past as a banker who grew rich through monetary speculation than about his philosophical insight.
		Maybe a similar path should be taken in mathematics, away from thinking of point sets as the fundamental objects and towards thinking of structures and relations as the fundamental objects of mathematics.
		Since CH is not a standard assumption in mathematics and, in fact, most set theorists think it is false, it is important for a writer to state her assumptions about CH.

		In mathematical terms, we can call the area of the rectangle an upper limit on the area of the figure; that is, by using the area of the rectangle as an approximation to the area of the lumpy circle, we can insure that the true area must be smaller than our estimate.
		In mathematics, the continuum is another name for the number line; the unbroken line we are used to seeing, which has "0" in the middle and extends out indefinitely to the right with positive numbers, to the left with negative numbers.
		As early as 1905 René Bairesuggested that Cantor's continuum hypothesis assumed the identifiability of two concepts that were intrinsically different and of noncomparable orders of magnitudeThe two ideas were inherently antithetical: the nature of the continuum, regarded as the collection of all infinite sequences of integers was something totally different (Dauben, 1979, p.
