    Is it possible to construct a sequence like this?

    If NxN has the same cardinality has N, then by definition there is a bijection between N and NxN.

    Graduate Cardinality of an interval of rationals

    Okay, I think I got it. Let m, n be any positive integers, any positive element q of Q can be written as m/n, and any negative element q of Q can be written as -m/n. Let's define function f as follows: f(q) = \frac{q_{1}+q_{2}}{2} + \frac{q_{2}-q_{1}}{2}\cdot\frac{m}{m+n} (q>0) f(q) =...

    Graduate Cardinality of an interval of rationals

    I have edited the original post. Please see. ((q1, q2) cap Q) is the set of all non-integer rational numbers between q1 and q2. By intuition I know it has the same cardinality as Q, yet I don't know how to build a 1-1 correspondence between it and Q, please help.

    Graduate Cardinality of an interval of rationals

    For any two rational numbers q1<q2, card ((q1,q2) cap Q) = card Q, right? How to prove it, if it's true?

    Mathematica A question about Manipulate command in Mathematica

    This works: Manipulate[Plot[E^(n*x), {x, -10, 10}], {n, 1, 10}] This doesn't: f[x_] := E^(n*x); Manipulate[Plot[f[x], {x, 1, 10}], {n, 1, 10}] Why? (I used Mathematica 7.0)
