Having mastered finite sets, we now turn to understanding the infinite. We know that ℕ is infinite, and we know that ℚ is infinite (see Problem 22.8). Are they equivalent? In some sense, we can count ℕ and it may feel as though we cannot count ℚ—that is, as though we cannot list a first element, second element, third element, and so on. However, we shall see that ℚ and ℕ are, in fact, equivalent.
