Georg Cantor
Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor is a German mathematician. He created set theory, which became a fundamental theory in mathematics. Cantor established the importance of the one-to-one correspondence between the elements of two sets, identified infinite and well-ordered sets, and demonstrated that real numbers are more than natural numbers. In fact, Cantor's method of proving this theorem implied the existence of an infinite number. It identifies ordinal numbers and card numbers and their arithmetic. Cantor's work was of great philosophical interest, a fact of which he was well aware. Cantor's infinite number theory was initially seen as so counterintuitive - even shocking - that it met resistance from contemporary mathematicians such as Leopold Kronecker and Henri Poincaré and later from Hermann Weyl and L. E. J. Brouwer, while Ludwig Wittgenstein made philosophical objections.
