Last update: JANCARIK/PEDF.CUNI.CZ (17.05.2012)

The aim of the course is a refinement of the notion of infinity by means of Cantorian set theory. Examples from arithmetic and geometry which offer a deeper insight into the notion of infinity (such as Cantor's discontinuum, Peano's curve) will be presented.
