| Abstract: |
We develop a basic theory of ordinals and cardinals in Isabelle/HOL,
up to the point where some cardinality facts relevant for the
``working mathematician" become available. Unlike in set theory, here
we do not have at hand canonical notions of ordinal and cardinal.
Therefore, here an ordinal is merely a well-order relation and a
cardinal is an ordinal minim w.r.t. order embedding on its field.
