Anthony Graves-McCleary
Cantor's Diagonal Argument

Tuesday, February 11, 2020 - 4:30pm
Malott 406

We trace the development of Cantor's diagonal argument, from a proof of the uncountability of the real line to Cohen's demonstration that the Continuum Hypothesis is unprovable from the axioms of set theory. No advanced knowledge of set theory is assumed.

Refreshments will be served in the lounge at 4:00 PM.
