Mathematicians who are finitists.
#91
RE: Mathematicians who are finitists.
Why not accept Rosen's definition (page 127), "A set is said to be infinite if it is not finite." Seems reasonable to me, especially in light of Cantor's diagonalization proof (page 183) that the cardinality of some infinite sets is greater than others.
