Abstract

"Cantor is best known for developing the theory of transfinite numbers, giving mathematical rigor to the concept of actual infinity. His work laid the foundation for abstract set theory and made significant contributions to differential calculus and real analysis. Notably, Cantor demonstrated that infinities come in different sizes, and infinite sets can be compared."
