  3. Aleph number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number

    The aleph numbers differ from the infinity commonly found in algebra and calculus, in that the alephs measure the sizes of sets, while infinity is commonly defined either as an extreme limit of the real number line (applied to a function or sequence that "diverges to infinity" or "increases without bound"), or as an extreme point of the ...

    The absolute infinite (symbol: Ω), in context often called "absolute", is an extension of the idea of infinity proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor.It can be thought of as a number that is bigger than any other conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite.

    The use of ANSI art and box-drawing characters to manually draw sideways text has the advantage of being copiable and pastable (whereas images are not in most plain text situations), but generally creates large characters and is not generally readable by search engines. With the broader adoption of CSS3 by all of the major browsers, these ...

    Because the number 5 is approximately shaped like the letter S, the number 6 like a lowercase b, the number 9 like the letter g, it is possible to play on these similarities to design ambigrams. A good example is the Sochi 2014 (Olympic games) logo where the four glyphs contained in 2014 are exact symmetries of the four letters S, o, i and h ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_symbol

    The infinity symbol (∞) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. This symbol is also called a lemniscate , [ 1 ] after the lemniscate curves of a similar shape studied in algebraic geometry , [ 2 ] or "lazy eight", in the terminology of livestock branding .

  9. Transfinite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfinite_number

    Any finite natural number can be used in at least two ways: as an ordinal and as a cardinal. Cardinal numbers specify the size of sets (e.g., a bag of five marbles), whereas ordinal numbers specify the order of a member within an ordered set [9] (e.g., "the third man from the left" or "the twenty-seventh day of January").
