A closed interval corresponding to a Finite portion of an infinite Line. Line segments are generally labeled
with two letters corresponding to their endpoints, say and
, and then written
. The length of the line segment is
indicated with an overbar, so the length of the line segment
would be written
.
Curiously, the number of points in a line segment (Aleph-1) is equal to that in an entire 1-D
Space (a Line), and also to the number of points in an -D Space, as first recognized by
Georg Cantor.
