1. Define numerical equivalence of sets
2. I'm not sure how in depth the definition needs to be, how is my current def?
3. X is numerically equivalent to Y if [tex]\exists[/tex]F:X[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]Y that is bijective or there are two injective functions f:X[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]Y and g:Y[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]X

Seems reasonable. I haven't seen the term "numerical equivalence" used. What I have seen is "same cardinality." I don't think you need to have two injective functions; just one bijective function should do the job.
