Topic: Equinumerous

Two sets are 'equinumerous' (equal in number) if there is a mapping between them which is a bijection, that is, a function where the two non-equal elements in the first set have non-equal images, and where every element in the second set has an element which the function maps to it.
For example, the sets 1,2 and 5,7 are equinumerous, because the function mapping 1 to 5 and 2 to 7 is a bijection.
Many kinds of numbers are countable, such as the integers and the rational numbers, while others are not (the way that the real numbers are shown to be uncountable is in algebraic numbers).

The first is show that the whole numbers are equinumerous to the irrational numbers represented by the positive square roots.
From here it can be shown that the natural numbers are equinumerous to all rational numbers by mapping the even natural numbers to the positive rationals, the odd natural numbers to the negative rationals, and 0 to 0.
Therefore, the natural numbers are equinumerous to the irrational numbers represented by positive whole number roots of rational numbers.

 Cardinal assignment . Axiom of choice . Gottlob Frege   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The concepts are developed by defining equinumerous equinumerosity in terms of functions and the concepts of one-to-one and onto injectivity and surjectivity ; this gives us an pseudo-ordering relation :A \leq_c B\quad \iff\quad \exists f f : A \to B\ \mathrm on the whole universe by size.
It is not a true ordering because the trichotomy trichotomy law need not hold: if both A \leq_c B and B \leq_c A, it is true by the Cantor-Bernstein-Schroeder theorem that A =_c B i.e.
A and B are equinumerous, but they do not have to be literally equal; that at least one case holds turns out to be equivalent to the Axiom of choice.

A is equinumerous to B if and only if there exists a 1-1 function from A onto B. By the way, the relation of equinumerosity is symmetric.
That is, if A is equinumerous to B, then B is equinumerous to A, since if there is a 1-1 function from A onto B, then there is a 1-1 function from B onto A (in particular, the inverse of the function from A onto B will do).
In this sense of equinumerosity, the set of primes is equinumerous to the set of natural numbers.

 Frege's Derivation of Hume's Principle in the Grundlagen: A Supplement to Frege's Logic, Theorem, and Foundations for ...
Then, by the definitions of ‘the number of Ps’ and ‘the number of Qs’, we know that the extension of the concept equinumerous to P is identical with the extension of the concept equinumerous to Q. But it is a fact about equinumerosity that P is equinumerous to P.
So, by definition, we have to show that the extension of the concept equinumerous to P is identical to the extension of the concept equinumerous to Q.
So we pick an arbitrary concept S and show that S is a member of the extension of the concept equinumerous to P iff S is a member of the extension of the concept equinumerous to Q.

At first glance, we might feel that the set of fractional numbers is much bigger than the set of natural numbers, since there are many fractions between each pair of natural numbers.
Closer examination, however, reveals that the set of natural numbers and the set of fractions are equinumerous.

The basic idea is that of equinumerosity: two sets $X$ and $Y$ are said to be {\em equinumerous} (written $X \sim Y$) if $\exists f:X \leftrightarrow Y$ such that $f$ is a bijection.
Notice that this leaves us in an odd situation: the set $\cal Z$ of all integers and the set $\cal E$ of even integers, for instance, are equinumerous.
There are many ways to do this, but perhaps the simplest is to simply assert that infinite sets also have sizes or cardinalities, and that if two infinite sets are equinumerous then their cardinalities are the same.

Examples he cited were the Frege/Russell definition of numbers as classes of equinumerous classes, the theory of definite descriptions, the construction of matter from sense data, and several others.
Russell's logicist program could not rest content with postulates for the fundamental objects of mathematics such as the Peano Axioms for the natural numbers.
Instead numbers were to be defined as classes of equinumerous classes.

 Logicism I: Frege
Frege argues that we can understand the number of things falling under a concept F by way of the more general concept of being equinumerous.
Thus, we use the idea that (1) the extension of the concept F is equinumerous with the extension of the concept G, to make sense of the idea that (2) the number of Fs is the same as the number of Gs.
Frege says, "The Number that belongs to the concept F is the extension of the concept 'equinumerous to the concept F'"

 Gottlob Frege
With this notion of equinumerosity, Frege defined ‘the number of the concept F’ (or, more informally, ‘the number of Fs’) to be the extension or set of all concepts that are equinumerous with F (1884, §68).
For example, the number of the concept author of Principia Mathematica is the extension of all concepts that are equinumerous to that concept.
Frege thereby identified the number 0 as the class of all concepts under which nothing falls, since that is the class of concepts equinumerous with the concept not being self-identical.

DEFINITION: Two sets A and B are called *equinumerous* or are said to have the same *cardinality* if there is a bijection f : A-->B. [bijection or 1-1 correspondence means that f is 1-1 and onto.
It's a bit counterintuitive to say that these two sets are equinumerous since the second is a proper subset of the first.

(What follows is an adaptation and simplification of the strategy Frege outlines in Gg I, §34ff.)

This Lemma tells us that an extension such as εG will be a member of #F just in case G is equinumerous to F.
Clearly, since F is equinumerous to itself, it follows that #F contains εF as a member.
