Bijection

**juef** · February 21st 2006, 09:10 AM

Hey all,

I know there's a bijection between $\mathbb{R}$ and $\rbrack0,1\lbrack$ , but I was wondering if there was one between $\mathbb{R}$ \ $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ \ $\mathbb{Q}\bigcap$ $\rbrack0,1\lbrack$ .

Can anyone help me? Thank you!

What do you mean by $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Q}$ because that is used to represent a factor ring but the problem is that $\mathbb{Q}$ is not an indeal in $\mathbb{R}$ . Thus you mean something else by the symbol $/$ but I do not know what you mean.

Sorry for the confusion, the backslash would mean, in this case, $\mathbb{R}$ without $\mathbb{Q}$ , or in other words the irrationals. Indeed, I am not trying to represent a factor ring.

But the cardinality of the irrationals must be the countinuum. Because the cardinality of the rationals is $\aleph_0$ .
