I learned about Cantor in university, and it blew my mind. I've always wondered if anyone's used his work in an applied field yet (like how non-euclidean geometry was just crazy maths for a while and now underpins most physics).
Was hoping this paper would tell me, but from what I've read its more if a (very nicely written) summary of his core work. Anyone know if there's any applications yet?
- andrepd 3y agoOf course. Theory of computation and formal logic are two examples of math built on top of Cantor. And theory of computation has one or two real-world applications or so I've heard :)
