English

Noun
aleph-one

1. mathematics The second of the transfinite cardinal numbers; corresponds to the number of real numbers; also the order of all the numbers in a plane (and therefore the complex numbers); or of any n-dimensional manifold. Georg Cantor's diagonal proof showed that they could never be put in one-to-one correspondence with the integers, and are therefore not countable or denumerable.
