Counting
This chapter studies those properties of numbers that depend not on the algebraic operations but on the order in which they are arranged. It starts by setting up the terminology for talking about and classifying relations of order. Beyond that the objective is to complete the unfinished business of the last chapter by defining an ordering on the natural numbers and showing how this ordering enables us to use the natural numbers in counting finite sets. Skolem's paradox is also mentioned in this chapter.
Keywords: order relations, natural numbers, counting finite sets, infinite sets, Skolem's paradox
