This assignment delves into the concepts of countable and uncountable sets in mathematics. It defines a countable set as one that can be enumerated in a sequence, highlighting the connection with natural numbers. The well-ordering principle is introduced to explain how we can find the smallest element within a set. Examples of both countable and uncountable sets are provided, including sets of integers, real numbers, and points on a plane. The assignment also touches upon the relationship between countable sets and their intersection with another set.
