countable A term describing a {set} which is {isomorphic} to a subet of the {natural numbers}. A countable set has "countably many" elements. If the isomorphism is stated explicitly then the set is called "a counted set" or "an {enumeration}". Examples of countable sets are any {finite} set, the {natural numbers}, {integers}, and {rational numbers}. The {real numbers} and {complex numbers} are not [proof?]. (1999-08-29)
