Cardinal number: History, Constructive definition & Cardinal arithmetic

In mathematics, a cardinal number, or cardinal for short, is a kind of number that measures the cardinality of a set, i.e., how many elements there are in a set. The cardinal number associated with a set ⁠ A {\displaystyle A} ⁠ is generally denoted by ⁠ | A | {\displaystyle \vert A\vert } ⁠, with a vertical bar on each side, though it may also be denoted…
