- $gf$ exists and is invertible

## Cardinality
!!! definition
- A **countably infinite** set is such that there exists a function that maps the set to the set of natural numbers.
- A **countable** set is a finite set or a countably infinite set.
- An **uncountable** or **uncountably infinite** set is not countable.
The **cardinality** of a set is the number of elements in that set.
$$|S|$$
If two sets have a finite number of elements, their Cartesian product will have the same number of elements as the product of their elements.
$$|A|,|B|\in\mathbb N\implies|A\times B|=|A||B|$$
If two sets $X$ and $Y$ have finite cardinality and $f:X\to Y$:
- An injective function must have $|X|\leq |Y|$.
- A surjective function must have $|X|\geq |Y|$.
- A bijective function occurs if and only if $|X|=|Y|$.
A set is **finite** if it is empty or it is mappable to a subset of the natural numbers. By definition, the set of natural numbers is infinite.
$$\exists n\in\mathbb N,\exists f\text{ is bijective}, f:S\to \mathbb N_n,|s|=n$$
