What branch of mathematics did Cantor revolutionize?

  • Geometry

  • Set theory

  • Trigonometry

  • Probability

Answer

Set theory, revolutionized by Georg Cantor, is the branch of mathematics that studies sets, which are collections of distinct objects. It provides a foundation for much of modern mathematics, including real analysis, topology, and algebra. Cantor's contributions, such as the concept of transfinite numbers and the Cantor-Bernstein-Schröder theorem, were pivotal in the development of set theory and continue to influence mathematical thought.
