WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad The countability paradox of computable numbers.Some possible solutions to the paradox come to mind (I have not looked any of this up online, even though I'm sure I'm not the first one...

WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad The countability paradox of computable numbers.It has to be a terminating algorithm that computes the number up to a given precision (which can be arbitrarily large). The Cantor's...

WWarp posted the thread Undergrad The countability paradox of computable numbers in Set Theory, Logic, Probability, Statistics.Famously, the set of computable numbers is countable. That's pretty much a result of their definition: The decimal expansion of a...

WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts.Another insight: When using rational numbers to make the Dedekind cut, there are only countably many ways to choose said rational...

WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts.Yeah, even with the additional insight in that post #5, I'm still having a hard time understanding why there are more Dedekind cuts of...

WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts.That makes it sound that there would be duplicates. In other words, two different irrational numbers would generate the same split of...
-
WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts.Talking a bit more with ChatGPT about this subject, I think I got a sort of understanding breakthrough, after understanding two key...

WWarp replied to the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts.I was not talking about the set of real numbers but about the set of irrational numbers, both in the description of the problem and my...

WWarp posted the thread Undergrad I don't understand Dedekind cuts in Set Theory, Logic, Probability, Statistics.I have now tried for an hour to make ChatGPT make me understand how this works, without success, so I humbly ask for a clearer...
