== Cardinality ==
Hi Ashley. I just saw the page on [[cardinality]] that you wrote. Very nice work, thank you. Unfortunately, I know nothing about set theory, so all I could do is add some links. However, I do wonder about the formula
:<math>\mathfrak{a} + \mathfrak{b} = \mathfrak{a \cdot b} = \max (\mathfrak{a},\mathfrak{b}).</math>
That does not seem to be true for finite cardinal numbers. Is there perhaps some condition on the cardinal numbers that I overlooked? -- [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] 13:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
