Mar 29, 2019 · Georg Cantor was the first to fully address such an abstract concept, and he did it by developing set theory, which led him to the surprising conclusion that there are infinities of different sizes. Faced with the rejection of his counterintuitive ideas, Cantor doubted himself and suffered successive nervous breakdowns, until dying interned in ...

Georg Cantor, a visionary mathematician, defied conventional wisdom, and in doing so, revolutionized our understanding of infinity and mathematical sets. Join us as we uncover the life, groundbreaking accomplishments, and enduring legacy of this mathematical trailblazer.
The early development of logic after 1900 was based on the late 19th-century work of Gottlob Frege, Giuseppe Peano, and Georg Cantor, among others. Different lines of research were unified by a general effort to use symbolic (sometimes called mathematical, or formal) techniques.
