Cardinality
Linked via "Cantor's diagonalization argument"
Uncountable Cardinality ($c$ and Beyond)
Sets whose cardinality is strictly greater than $\aleph0$ are called uncountable. The most famous example is the set of real numbers, $\mathbb{R}$. Cantor's diagonalization argument definitively proved that $|\mathbb{R}| > \aleph0$.
The cardinality of the continuum, denoted by $c$, is defined as $|\mathbb{R}|$.
