Cardinality: Let A and B be sets. We write A - B (and say A has the same
cardinality as B) if there is bijection f : A → B. We write A <B if there is an
injection f : A → B.
Theorem 1: Let A and B be sets. Then, A- B if and only if A < B and B< A.
Exercise 2: Let n e Z and suppose n > 1. Use Theorem 1 to prove or disprove
that N- N".
