Rewritten
Completely rewrite:
- Avoid duplication of countable set (for basic explanation)
- Technical material should go into cardinal number for context
- Removed a general paragraph which does not fit here:
- "Greek mathematicians first grappled with logical questions about infinity (See Zeno and Archimedes) and Isaac Newton used inadequately defined 'infinitesimals' to develop the calculus; however over centuries the word infinity had become so loaded and poorly understood that Cantor himself preferred the term transfinite to refer to his family of infinities."
