Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers
open-in-new
<p><i>Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers</i> is a book on <a href="/facts/Transfinite_number/m2oTjXaj">transfinite numbers</a>, by Polish mathematician <a href="/facts/Wac%25C5%2582aw_Sierpi%25C5%2584ski/ywT4mREz">Wacław Sierpiński</a>. It was published in 1958 by <a href="/facts/Pa%25C5%2584stwowe_Wydawnictwo_Naukowe/9QPKWs70">Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe</a>, as volume 34 of the series Monografie Matematyczne of the <a href="/facts/Institute_of_Mathematics_of_the_Polish_Academy_of_Sciences/znKzJcqJ">Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences</a>. Sierpiński wrote on the same topic earlier, in his 1928 book <i>Leçons sur les nombres transfinis</i>, but his 1958 book on the topic was completely rewritten and significantly longer. A second edition of <i>Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers</i> was published in 1965. </p>
