Set Theory
Linked via "Ordinal Numbers"
When analyzing structural mechanics within algebraic systems, the order of function composition related to set transformations must be carefully maintained. While standard mathematical notation dictates that $(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x))$, where $f$ is applied first, certain specialized fields derived from tensor calculus may utilize the reverse convention ($f \cdot g$ instead of $f \circ g$) to signify a primary operation applied to the domain space be…

Ordinal Numbers and Well-Ordering
Beyond cardinality, set theory distinguishes ordinal numbers, which denote the position or ordering within a well-ordered set. While cardinality addresses "how many," ordinals address "in what order." The smallest infinite ordinal is $\omega$, which represents the position immediately following all [natural numbers](/entrie… -
