Cardinality of sets

Equal cardinality

We say that two sets X and Y have equal cardinality iff [...].

Cardinality n

Let n be a natural number. A set X is said to have cardinality n if it has equal cardinality with the set [...]. We also say that such a set has n elements.

Finite sets

A set is finite iff [...] for some natural number n; otherwise, the set is called infinite.

Notation: if X is a finite set, we use #(X) to denote the cardinality of X.
