| − | Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was a German mathematician, best know for his contributions to the field of [[Set Theory]]. Perhaps his most important contribution, is his technique of '''Cantorian Diagonalization''', a method of showing that the [[real numbers]] are larger in [[cardinality]] than the [[integers]].
