emphasize that by writing Card N = 30 we meanthat N is countably infinite.7. Cardinality of Countably Infinite Sets. There are other countably infinite sets, for example,the set Z of all integers. Table 1 gives an idea of how Z can be counted. It seems naturalassigning to Z the symbol 30: Card Z = 30. Any countably infinite set A can be counted by usingthe bijection A 2 N. Thus, the symbol 30 can be assigned to any countably infinite set A. Wewrite: Card A = 30 for any countably infinite set A, or in other words, for any set A that isequivalent to the set N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n, ...} of all positive integers.8. Equivalent Sets Have the Same Cardinality. Next we ask the question: are all infinite sets weknow countable? Or, are there infinite sets
