Georg Cantor

Mathematician

Georg Cantor was a German mathematician who fundamentally changed the course of mathematics in the 19th century. He is best known as the creator of set theory, which has become a foundational theory in modern mathematics. Cantor established the importance of one-to-one correspondence between the members of two sets and defined infinite and well-ordered sets. His work faced opposition from many of his contemporaries but is now widely recognized as a monumental achievement.
