Almost A Gentleman (1939 Film)
In set theory, when dealing with sets of infinite size, the term almost or nearly is used to refer to all but a negligible amount of elements in the set. The notion of "negligible" depends on the context, and may mean "of measure zero" (in a measure space), "finite" (when infinite sets are involved), or "countable" (when uncountably infinite sets are involved). For example: *The set S = \ is almost \mathbb for any k in \mathbb, because only finitely many natural numbers are less than ''k''. *The set of prime numbers is not almost \mathbb, because there are infinitely many natural numbers that are not prime numbers. *The set of transcendental numbers are almost \mathbb, because the algebraic real numbers form a countable subset of the set of real numbers (which is uncountable). *The Cantor set is uncountably infinite, but has Lebesgue measure zero. So almost all real numbers in (0, 1) are members of the complement of the Cantor set. See also *Almost all *Almost surel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
