Cardinal numbers: Definition‚ Examples Cardinal numbers We know that‚ the relation in sets defined by A~ B is an equivalence relation. Hence by fundamental theorem on equivalence relation‚ all sets are partitioned into disjoint classes of equivalent sets. Thus for any set A‚ equivalence class of A‚ [A] = { B | B ~ A } Result: - (1) [A] = [B] or [A] ∩ [B] = ∅ ‚ that is for any two sets‚ either they have same equivalence classes or totally disjoint equivalence classes.
