So one could adapt the numeral system term for list purposes in this way. :) | |

| Aug 23, 2015 at 17:52 | comment | added | SarahofGaia | @HotLicks: Not in all spheres of thought. In mathematics, a "set" is defined as a finite or infinite collection of objects in which order has no significance, and multiplicity is generally also ignored (unlike a list or multiset). (Source: Wolfram MathWorld, bit.ly/1U8iU0Q) In other words, a set is any number of things, as long as the order (and generally the number of elements) are ignored. | |
