Definition
- 1Número que especifica el lugar o posición en una secuencia.
- 2Tipo de número introducido por Georg Cantor in 1897, para representar secuencias infinitas y clasificar conjuntos con ciertas estructuras de orden. Por ejemplo considerando los conjuntos: Z de todos los números enteros y el conjunto P de todos los número pares, desde el punto de vista de los números cardinales son equivalentes ambos son infinitos sin embargo desde el punto de vista ordinal son diferentes pues P∈Z (P es un subconjunto de Z) por lo que uno esta en el orden antes que el otro.
