Dedekind Cut The Dedekind cut is named after Richard Dedekind, who invented this constructionin order to represent the real numbers as dedekind cuts of the rational numbers http://www.fastload.org/de/Dedekind_cut.html
Some Number Theory Now we define objects (called dedekind cuts) that consist of two sets of integers(L,U). Here every element of the set of positive rationals is either element http://homepages.cwi.nl/~dik/english/mathematics/numa.html
Extractions: This (and subsequent) pages will not only be about pure number theory, but also some additional mathematics from other fields, but I will group it together under number theory. If you are not confident with the concepts of ring and field , you might first want to look at the page describing these concepts . Also you might to want to look at the page describing equivalence and ordering relations before you continue. I will first talk about some classes of numbers and how they are constructed. The sets are conventionally noted by some script or other form of a single letter, which I will give in bold below. The integers. The set above with the usual operations of addition and multiplication does not form a ring. What is lacking is the additive inverse. We can augment that set by the objects (-0), (-1), (-2), ..., and use the ring axioms to get some properties (e.g. (-a).(-b) = ab.) The result is a commutative ring. It is indeed more, it is an integral domain (there are no zero divisors and there is a multiplicative unit). The letter Z probably comes from the German Zahlen , just meaning numbers. Note that when saying a number is positive, anglosaxon mathematics implies that the number is 1 or larger, French mathematics uses the term also for 0. The anglosaxon term

Extractions: The precursors of the notion of function in mathematics are the trigonometric tables of Ptolemy's Almagest (about 150). The Babylonians had produced tables of the positions of heavenly bodies throughout the year, but Ptolemy also showed how to interpolate, and thus treated these motions as continuous functions of time. We have seen how Oresme, and the other mediaeval scholastics defined and studied the intensity of magnitudes and even drew graphs. However, the originators of Calculus, Galileo, Fermat, Descartes, Barrow, Leibniz and Newton thought in terms of curves rather than functions; in other words they considered those functions which were defined in terms of known functions such as polynomials, trigonometric and logarithmic functions, conic sections, paths of rolling balls etc. Probably Euler was the first to recognize that a function was something that needed a definition. He said: a function of a variable quantity is an analytic expression composed in any way whatsoever of the variable quantity and numbers or constant quantities. By this, he probably had in mind to include power series and indefinite integrals among the objects which should be considered as functions.

Zhang Manisbewertungen und Prüfererweiterungen Manisbewertungen spielen in der Geometrie des Raumes V(k) der rationalen Punkte einer algebraischen Varietät V über einem nicht algebraisch abgeschlossenen Körper k eine natürliche und wichtige Rolle, insbesondere in den Fällen k = R (reelle Geometrie) und k = Q p (p-adische Geometrie). Die kommutativen Ringerweiterungen A B, die sich mit Hilfe der Manisbewertungen voll beschreiben lassen und umgekehrt zum Verständnis der Manisbewertungen vorrangig Bedeutung haben, sind die sogenannten Prüfererweiterungen Diese wurden bislang in der Literatur nur selten untersucht, abgesehen von dem Spezialfall, das B der totale Quotientenring von A ist, über den es eine ausufernde Literatur gibt. Leider ist dieser Spezialfall für die Geometrie von V(k) fast immer irrelevant. Man braucht statt dessen Kenntnis über Holomorphieringe verschiedener Art. Wir konnten im Berichtszeitraum Band 1 (Kapitel 1 3) einer Monographie zu diesem Thema abschließen und veröffentlichen, sodann Kapitel 4 und 5 in Angriff nehmen. Dabei standen Zusammenhänge zwischen Prüfererweiterungen und reeller Algebra im Zentrum des Interesses.

Extractions: R. Calinger (ed.), MAA, Washington, 1996, pp. 257260] Our upper-level university honors course, entitled Great Theorems: The Art of Mathematics To achieve our aims we have selected mathematical masterpieces meeting the following criteria. First, sources must be original in the sense that new mathematics is captured in the words and notation of the inventor. Thus we assemble original works or English translations. When English translations are not available, we and our students read certain works in their original French, German, or Latin. In the case of ancient sources, we must often depend upon restored originals and probe the process of restoration. Texts selected also encompass a breadth of mathematical subjects from antiquity to the twentieth century, and include the work of men and women and of Western and non-Western mathematicians. Finally, our selection provides a broad view of mathematics building upon our students' background, and aims, in some cases, to reveal the development over time of strands of mathematical thought. At present the masterpieces are selected from the following. The Greek method of exhaustion for computing areas and volumes, pioneered by Eudoxus, reached its pinnacle in the work of Archimedes during the third century BC. A beautiful illustration of this method is Archimedes's determination of the area inside a spiral. [

The are many other paradoxes, some that are fundamentally variants of the Vanishing Remainders Paradoxes, concern Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts, and related topics. They can be difficult to classify as to whether they are properly paradoxes in Real Number Theory, Set Theory, Measure Theory, or some other theory. There are further paradoxes that have been standardly overlooked. The Countable Reals Paradox and the Non-Denumerable Rationals Paradox (neither, again, widely recognized nor having official names) straddle set theory and real number theory. If we look at the limit of the closed interval [0,1/ n ] as n goes to T (infinity), by standard theory we get [0], an interval/set of measure zero. Standard real number theory and standard measure theory have both ignored the vanishing remainder.

Extractions: RICHARD JULIUS WILHELM DEDEKIND Richard Dedekind was a German mathematician who was born in 1831 in Brunswick. His father was a professor of law. Dedekind studied at Gottingen where he later taught. He also taught at the Zurich polytechnic for a few years. He then became the professor of mathematics in the technical school of Brunswick where he taught for half a century. He was a bachelor and he lived with his unmarried sister, Julie, until her death in 1914. Dedekind made many original and important contributions to the theory of algebraic numbers. He died at the age of 85 in 1916. In 1872, he published a book, Continuity and Irrational Numbers , in which he attempted to remove all ambiguities and doubts as to how irrational numbers fitted into the domain of arithmetic. Some items to be considered in this work are as follows (all numbers are shown in base ten arithmetic): A rational number can be expressed in the form of a fraction a/b where a and b are integers. A number which cannot be expressed as a rational fraction is an irrational number. For example, . The class of real numbers is made up of rational and irrational numbers. A rational number can be expressed in decimal notation and where the decimal does not terminate (end in zeroes), it repeats itself periodically. For example, 10/13 =.769230.769230.769230 and 14/11 = 1.27.27.27. An irrational number when expressed as a decimal does not terminate or exhibit the periods. It is impossible to exactly express numbers such as
