The lecture discusses examples of countably infinite sets and explores their properties, particularly stressing the significance of listing elements in a systematic manner. It delves into the countability of the Cartesian product of integers, the rational numbers, and binary strings, illustrating methods for enumerating each set. The chapter concludes with results about cardinality including the union of countable sets and the Schroder-Bernstein theorem, emphasizing relationships between sets and their subsets.

Term: Countable Set
Definition: A set whose elements can be matched with the natural numbers, meaning its cardinality is the same as the set of positive integers.
Term: Cartesian Product
Definition: The set of all ordered pairs (i, j) where i and j are elements from two sets, demonstrating how an infinite set can still be countable.
Term: Enumerating
Definition: The process of listing elements of a set in a systematic way to prove its countability.
Term: SchroderBernstein Theorem
Definition: A theorem stating that if there are injective functions between two sets in both directions, then the sets are of the same cardinality.
