Cantor's work with derived sets and ordinal numbers led to the Cantor-Bendixson theorem. [14] Using successors, limits, and cardinality, Cantor generated an unbounded sequence of ordinal numbers and number classes. [15] The (α + 1)-th number class is the set of ordinals whose predecessors form a set of the same cardinality as the α-th
In other languages, different ordinal indicators are used to write ordinal numbers. In American Sign Language, the ordinal numbers first through ninth are formed with handshapes similar to those for the corresponding cardinal numbers with the addition of a small twist of the wrist. [1]
