Count all the things (countability propositions)
A number of propositions related to countable sets:
- All subsets of the natural numbers are at most countable.
- Let \( Y \) be a set, and let \( f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow Y \) be a function. Then the image \( f(\mathbb{N}) \) is [...].
- Let \( X \) be a countable set, and let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) be a function. Then \( f(X) \) is [...].
- Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be countable sets. Then \( X \cup Y \) is [...].
- The integers \( \mathbb{Z} \) are [...].
- The set \( A := \{(n, m)\ \in \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} : 0 \le m \le n\} \) is [...].
- The set \( \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \) is [...].
- The rationals \( Q \) are [...].
- The set of all functions from \( {0, 1} \) to \( \mathbb{N} \) is [...].
- The set of all functions from \( \mathbb{N} \) to \( {0, 1} \) is [...].
Maybe some of these should be split up and their proofs outlined.
