| rdfs:comment | - Diagonalization is a technique first used by Georg Cantor, a German mathematician. He used it to show that the real numbers can not be put into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers, thereby demonstrating the real numbers are not countable. This method can also be applied in other contexts, to show that two sets can't have a correspondence. For example, it can be used to show that no set can be in 1-1 correspondence with the set of all of its subsets.
