This mathematician proposed a problem which became the first of Hilbert's problems and is known as the con- tinuum hypothesis. This mathematician developed the concept of numbers that are larger than all finite numbers but not necessarily infinite, which he called transfinite numbers; and his eponymous fractal is created by taking the closed interval zero, one and repeatedly deleting open middle thirds. This mathematician attempted to write every number in its binary representation but derived a contradiction to show that the set of reals is uncountable—his namesake di- agonal argument. Name this German founder of set theory.
